I'm thinking of scenario books with orders of battle, primarily for his Italian campaigns. Maybe troop pictures as a bonus. Has anyone come across something like that? |

Phil Saben's "Lost Battles" is worth a look |

Armies of the Macedonian and Punic Wars (Duncan Head) covers all Pyrrhus' wars and is crammed full of info useful to the wargamer.
'Warfare in the Ancient World' by John Warry has lots of nice pictures.
Likewise 'Greece and Rome at War' by Peter Connolly
There's probably some Osprey titles covering the war as well. |

The Peter Sides' scenario books written for DBA probably include Phyruss' battles. |

Second "lost Battles" Although it only covers Asculum it lists all the ancient sources that have any information about Pyrrhus. |

Great battles OF HELENISTIC AGE HAS MOST OF Pyrrhus BATTLES AGAINST ROME. |

Great Battles of the Hellenistic World does provide information on the three major battles that Pyrrhus fought in Rome and does list sources. Combining it with Armies of the Macedonian and Punic Wars (where Duncan Head provides a listing of the various infantry contingents and their probable equipment) which has drawings of the various troop types and Lost Battles account of Asculum should provide the most information for Pyrrhus army. |
