Don't Mess with Hannibal (2005)

“In the year 216 BC the Second Punic War had become a stalemate. The Romans could not defeat Hannibal's Carthaginian army in the field, and Hannibal could not capture Rome." "Growing impatient, Rome raised a large army and set them under the command of Caius Varro to battle Hannibal. The result was one of the most devastating defeats ever inflicted on an army. Varro was determined that his army would not be outflanked and defeated by Hannibal, as happened at the battle of Trebbia. But Hannibal was one of the greatest generals in military history, and that's exactly what happened. The Romans were encircled and massacred.” A miniatures wargame intended for classroom use with two teams of students (grades 6-8).
