"First. Second and Third Punic Wars" Topic

Can anyone point me in the correct direction for army lists or order of battle for Carthaginian armies and their opponents. I may even stray into early 'Greek' neighbours such as Pyrrhus or Syracuse.

I could do this in 10mm, Warmaster style or Old School style with my 25mm Ancient collection.

Alot of these will be fuzzy assumptions. To The Strongest has some good army lists to give you an idea as would many other rulesets.

Carthaginians were primarily mercenary so their composition could vary a good amount depending on where the army was and what mercenaries were available.

I have 10mm Punic armies and am working on a Macedonian/Successor army at the moment.

Thanks PAR, nice website. I'll have a look at TTS later.

The DBM and DBMM army lists are well researched. The older editions are available very cheap.

The DBM and DBMM army lists are well researched.

I may have these at the bottom of a dusty pile of books.

I originally based mine on double sized DBA armies, then added all the extra bits for the various Punic Wars scenarios in Lost Battles and Command and Colours Ancients.

The various Allied/Mercenary Punic continents all went off and expanded into armies in their own right. Once you've done a load of barbarians, Numidians and Spaniards, it is easy enough to add more.

The Carthos are a right mish mash.

Official lists? And for which game?

I have one I made for Hail Caesar for the 2nd Punic War, and there are some other good ones out there. There is a blog with like 180 homemade army lists for HC ancients that's very good, with most units on standard frontage, but some lists are error 404ing now.

HC, Warmaster, bespoke, home grown.

Do you have a link for the blog above?
