Title: Lake Trasimene
Post by: Jon Freitag on February 08, 2024, 02:57:08 PM
Hannibal v Flaminius along the shore of Lake Trasimene. 
28mm figures played on a hex grid.

The battle mirrored the historical result but the battle was close.

A difficult battle to wargame, but you seem have to have made a pretty good fist of it Jon!

Given their location it looks like they will soon be sub-marines.

You fellas are killing me!

Yes, Flaminius and his legion went for a swim.  With their armor, most have joined the bottom feeders on the lake floor.
