When War Gods Battle

Legion Archer 9

The plan was as blunt as the tactics were brutal.

The line of war elephants scattered the lightly armored Velites. In retreat, the skirmishers filtered through the Legion ranks.

Behind the herd of elephants, a horde of Hannibal Barca’s best light infantrymen kept pace. Modest in its simplicity, the plan was devised for one outcome. Ram through with the elephants, followed quickly by the light infantry, who would maintain avenues through the Legion lines. Legionaries would panic, and victory would go to the killers of the African Corps.

General Cornelius Scipio, and General Hannibal Barca would finally match wits. With conquests by the hundreds, they were far above any contemporaries. Except perhaps for the General across the contested landscape.

And so, as the ancients warned, “When war gods battle, mortals die.”
