The Romans had, if I remember rightly, just over 2200 points, and the Carthaginians about 150 points less. You couldn't tell form the way they fought, though!<br /><br />Hope this makes sense.<br />Paul<br /><br />Calibanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13137774792085672600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482407251610013637.post-27138745421759133162014-04-24T04:05:43.984+01:002014-04-24T04:05:43.984+01:00Great report.

I assume both sides were at Breaking Point so side with higher % losses was the looser. Any chance you could post your OB's. I like to see how others organize their T2 armies.Mitch Berdinkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17243639892486417817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482407251610013637.post-3651202748989051012014-04-23T18:32:41.653+01:002014-04-23T18:32:41.653+01:00Hi Guido, thanks for reading.Hi Guido, thanks for reading.Calibanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13137774792085672600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482407251610013637.post-29682478802284747852014-04-23T18:31:41.957+01:002014-04-23T18:31:41.957+01:00Thanks, Andrew.
