About

Why did Hasdrubal fail at Dertosa, while his brother Hannibal had succeeded at Cannae? Find out in this expansion for SPQR, found in GMT's C3i Magazine Nr4. It simulates the Carthaginian defeat at Dertosa, a battle bought 215 BC in Spain. Hasdrubal tried to envelop a Roman Army, only to fail due to a lack of cavalry and veteran troops. The scenario is described as being like Cannae, only more balanced.
