This is such an interesting system and worth purchasing Age of Hannibal for even if you don't play any historical wargames.

Very nice tutorial! Cleared up some questions I had about the terrain and stratagem deployment in the game. :)

This is pretty interesting and I think it could easily be adapted towards other games as well.

I bought the game due to this really interesting mechanic. It makes for new setup/"random scenario" every time.
Also find the morale clock a big selling point, the battle will be decided after a few full rounds of fighting with casualties..

Anyone else finding that portrait on the rules cover and cards a little unnerving? My cat had cataracts and would stare at me whenever I ate popcorn.

I’ve always wondered what kind of mat you are using. Is it some kind of fleece fabric which you then painted? I’d love to know! Thank you so much

How do you handle a situation where you have several stratagem cards? Do you place the excess card(s) on the table and count it as clear terrain? It looks like a fun pre-game that makes the set up a game in itself.

What about making a video on how the game actually plays?

Okay, you guys sparked an interests into thee rules...looking forward to your other reviews/play of this system.  I'm pretty locked into my go-to set, "Might of Arms".  I play these in 28mm, can I use 28mm in Age of Hannibal?  Thanks

Looks ngenious and simple but ... do we have to wear a helmet? Must buy one in this case, love the hill effect btw...

[B.Huntley_Sharpe]

Looks like Steve's helmet is a bit on the smallish side. No doubt due to his large cranial mass, or as it is commonly called - fat head. :) Q: Who in the army wears the biggest hat? A: The guy with the biggest head.

Question on the battlefield cloth. Was that commercially purchased or was the cloth purchased and painted over to make the fields? Great video. Thanks.
