Hannibal's earliest campaigns were against the various Iberian tribes along the Ebro River and in the west, across the Tagus. This provided the historical backdrop to continue experimenting with the large command of 24 elements using one die for pip score.

The first game was surprisingly short needing only five turns to reach a decision, while the second game took twice as long but was completed in less than an hour.

Two more beautiful games. I like the huts. Also very impressive to complete 2 double sized DBA3 games each in under an hour. Guaranteed fun with these rules!

Thank you for the kind words.
The huts were built from pink foam material covered with Milliput.

Do you adjust the victory conditions for your double-sized games?

The four elements required for a victory in the standard game is increased to eight for the double size game.
Only the CinC counts as general lost in addition to the element; the subordinate counts as a single element.
All other conditions remain unchanged.
