415 8/16/2026 12:24:00 AM 209-207 BC Carthage Message Thanks for the game, it was a memorable one.

I wasn't sure it was wise to leave Spain with Africanus still to arrive. Cato kept Hasdrubal trapped in Africa for what felt like forever, but Hannibal drew all the right cards and took minimal attrition.
414 8/15/2026 11:22:00 PM 209-207 BC Rome Message No match. I had 8 Frontals in the Rome 15 draw.

All is lost and I must resign. With a Miracle Victory I had a Force March 3 to reinforce from Rome and get 2 Rolls. A very dramatic game, thanks.
