498 4/10/2025 8:52:00 PM 206-204 BC Carthage Message Yep, thanks for the game. Africa became available again this turn with the reshuffle, but unless you could get 2 armies over there pretty quickly I could probably wipe out 1 barring bad luck. Good luck in your next one!
497 4/10/2025 7:25:00 PM 206-204 BC Rome Message Hi Chris, the Romans have no response, so I believe Scipio has no retreat (back across the strait) so he's a goner.

And with that I will concede the game.
Thanks for the Game, I learnt a few things...

i probably should have conceded last turn when I only drew 1's and 2's and the "No Roman Cu's" to Africa really hurt the Romans.
But i thought why not try one more turn.
But i would have to get 3 provinces to Win and that is probably not going to happen.

Thanks for the game.

Here you go a chance for Hannibal to back away.
469 4/9/2025 5:52:00 PM 206-204 BC Carthage Message You have the first battle card play.
468 4/9/2025 4:39:00 PM 206-204 BC Rome Battle Hands dealt Battle 9

Carthage: 16 cards
Rome: 14 cards
467 4/9/2025 4:39:00 PM 206-204 BC Rome Message They will stay and fight.
And I see the wording on the card list, in this case it would be 1 card less

So Rome: 14
Carthage: 16
466 4/9/2025 9:15:00 AM 206-204 BC Carthage Message Also I looked up that to confirm that elephant fright is played instead of there being a roll so no chance to play after seeing the roll.
465 4/9/2025 9:11:00 AM 206-204 BC Carthage Message the correct sequence should be
1) after interception Rome decides to fight or back-up
2) Carthage declares if an elephant charge (I would have)
3) attacker combat card?
4) defender combat card?

lastly, the elephant fright card only reduces my BC by the number of elephants I have. So I would have 1 more. This is laid out only if you go the Vassal module list of all cards and it is a note there. Kind of a pain to have these minutiae memoerized or reference that list as often as needed.

So with this information now you can choose to still have the fight or back-up.
464 4/9/2025 5:58:00 AM 206-204 BC Rome Play Strategy card as Event #42: 1 / Elephant Fright
(Rome) Play if attacked by elephants. They have no effect on you and the Carthaginian player immediately loses two BCs.

Message from Rome:
Will play this card to help Scipio out i hope
(not sure if I wait till after elephant roll or not to play this)

But it's coming out anyway

I make it;
Carthage: 10+4+1+2-2=15
