Paper Wars 95: Hannibal - The Italian Campaign (Inglés)

Hannibal - The Italian Campaign  is a medium complexity strategic simulation of the Carthaginian General's Campaign in Italy during the Second Punic War. The Game is played in a series of turns composed of a number of phases. Field combat, sieges, siege combat, recruitment and Roman elections are all taken into account.

IN 218 BC the great Carthaginian General Hannibal crossed the Alps with the avowed intention of bringing Rome to her knees. Gathering Allies in Northern Italy, he out maneuvered, ambushed and out fought the Roman Armies sent to defeat him. Moving south, he inflicted upon Rome her greatest defeat at Cannae in 216 BC. Roman resolve wavered but never crumbled as she witnessed her Armies defeated with apparent ease. Time and again Rome was forced to regroup to meet the challenge.  But she always did.  For 13 years this continued.  With little support from Carthage and relying mainly on disaffected Roman Allies, Hannibal wreaked havoc in Italy.  Yet, in the end, Rome remained unconquered. 

The game included 200 Counters, 1 Full Size Map and the Rules Booklet.
