My recent experience has been what is best called 'big battle Intro scale'. i played standard Armati Zama a while back. The game was set up with armies...
Ash, "did Hannibal expect Rome's Numidians to fight tenaciously if he was winning the infantry battle? probably not :) Sad for him, reliability is not an issue...

In our scenario, if the elephants were not key it would make the battle far more balanced, even if we took a BP away from the Carthaginians on that side. I...
... . I have to disagree with my friend, but that's nothing new "lol", the battle and scenario was/is far from unbalanced. Yes the Romans won, but it had...
Sorry to disagree. ... It is very clear from the historical battle that the elephants played a huge role. they represent 'how' Hannibal hoped to win it. The...
... Yes, Steve, I get it. I don't play in tourneys and seldom use points. Emanpf's Zama scenario which is in the files section is equal points with elephants...
Ash, I'm not sure Hannibal did expect the Elephants to win anything. I think this is more of a Roman slant on their superiorty, and the backwardness of the...
... . Absolutely true ... but I would say play the scenario and then see what you think afterwards. Would love to hear your feedback. And then maybe play it...
How about using the elephants as scythed chariots, but=retaining the rules for running amok etc. That seems to reflect how hannib=l was using them. They will...

In my first question, the whole Warband division did not inflict BP to the enemy - what happens, when lets say 2 of the 3 Warband do not inflict a BP, but the...
Steve, What if the entire division passes the break off roll and is moved back? That looks legal to me, what your advocating is that you can not break off...
Steve, Break off splits may occur when the initiative is 1 or 0. I interpet an initiative never going less than zero. For example a breakoff that creates a...
Hi, since we have some very knowledge people here concerning history and the Armati rules ... our club is looking for some help understanding a rule. We've run...
The Rulebook says on page 26? (I don't have it in front of me right now), that "Break-Off Splits may occur even after an Army's Initiative is reduced to "1"...
I will take stab at this, though I am sure there are many other people more versed in history who could probably quote actual engagements. First off native...
