Yamamaya recreates Historical Battles with miniatures!
PostPosted: Sun Aug 21, 2011 4:05 pm
Greetings guys. I came up with an idea as I was painting my Lord of the Rings miniatures yesterday. I thought it would be cool if I used them to recreate historical battles. Keep in mind that my types of troops are limited.
The first one will have some historical inaccuracies. The ones to follow will be more accurate.
Let us begin!
Roman forces represented by Men of Gondor.
Carthagian forces represented by Easterlings, Riders of Rohan, and Orcs.
Battle of Canae
August 2 216 BC
Location: Roman Italy
Belligerants: Roman Republic under the command of Gaius
Carthaginian Republic under the command of Hannibal Barca
The Romans have suffered two majors losses to Hannibal's armies during the 2nd Punic War. Hannibal is determined to crush Rome. Rome raises a formidable force of over 80,000 men, outnumbering Hannibal's 50,000 strong army.
At Canae, the two forces meet.
Hannibal's forces deploy in a long thin line.
The Roman forces deploy in a deeper formation.
Hannibal's cavalry ride out behind enemy lines.
The Romans begin their assault! (continued on next post).
