Friday

 

Cannae again but sides swopped, this time I commanded the Romans

Cavalry melee with some success for the Romans.
My Spanish had successfully crossed the river but now my flank was menaced by Numidian light cavalry.
A view of the battlefield from behind Carthaginian lines.
The Spanish crossed and advancing.
The start of the game.
The game ended when I lost the generals of both my commands in the same turn! I conceded almost gracefully.

On my return an eBay purchase was waiting for me-


I had got a job lot of post boxes and phone boxes, including two unmade for use with the Homeguard.

Here is a phone boxes with 28mm figure, doesn’t look too bad to me . Post boxes were a tad on the tall side btw.
