Read the book - play the game!

 


 


Started reading Goldsworthy's "The Fall of Carthage " and thought I should play through the the battles using C&C Ancients , I have played most of the scenarios before but it will be interesting reading along . The first is The Battle of Akragas - 406 BC between the Carthagians under Himlico and the Syracusians commanded by the Tyrant Daphaeus , historically the Carthagians lost badly. I will be using the clever solo adaptation by "Stuka Jo" .

    1. C&C is very quick and easy and the only boardgame I really like.

  2. An interesting program. Of course, you run the risk of having to rewrite the book :)
