As ...Bang on Dale and Gnawdoom, Hannibal at Cannae. As in this battle a relatively weak centre occupies the enemy’s ranks and best soldiers, ideally without actually fighting them. At the same time the flanks are where the best units are situated, enveloping the enemy’s weaker flanks.<br />Now in Thantsants favour he did place his numerically small but statistically tough Longbeards on the flank and this may save that side but the right is in real trouble.<br /><br />Just because we’re fantasy players doesn’t mean we can’t learn from history.<br /><br /><br />BTW Dale love your blog, notice you’re no stranger to Hannibal and Carthage yourself. My eldest and I thought your wooden soldiers were great, he wants to make some. Oh for more hours in the day (or less work).<br />Ernyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106035249657749275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3071854826133661871.post-61835568267013435502013-03-19T01:14:57.045-07:002013-03-19T01:14:57.045-07:00I'll have an "H" please Bob!I'll have an "H" please Bob!Snickithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12043252668515117665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3071854826133661871.post-43337012781022855302013-03-18T20:28:29.251-07:002013-03-18T20:28:29.251-07:00Cannae?
