Hi everyone, I made the following modifications to the army list in the Hail Caesar army list book 1 to reflect the Zama campaign. The aim is to have an army as historically accurate as possible within the framework of the game.
Celtiberians (0-1) – Survivors of the 203BC defeats
Scutarii (0-2)
Iberian Cavalry cannot outnumber Liby-Phoenician Cavalry
Italian Allied medium infantry can be used to represent carthaginian poorly-armed citizens and carthaginian/numidian survivors of the defeats of 203BC. I would consider giving them the levy rule. Also considering making them 1+ – Hannibal did indeed have to ‘scrape the bottom of the barrel’ in recruitment.
Elephants (20%) – this is the only ‘bonus’ given to the armylist to reflect the amount of elephants Hannibal had at his disposal – though they may have been hastily trained.
Feedback is welcome!
