My last Optio game with Peter. One of the longest games I can remember, i.e. a little over 3 hours. I tried a stunt that almost didn't work - but worked. Enjoy!

It looks best to leave the tricks to the guys from Carthage.

Best tactics for the Romans is probably legions in the centre, march straight at the enemy and munch their way through them. Auxiliaries and cavalry on the flanks hanging back and stopping any flank attacks etc. for as long as they can until the legions break the enemy.
