Rome Total War Online Battle #1892: Hannibal Barca vs Alexander the Great

Time for another "What If" Battle!

In this battle, I pit two Ancient battlefield artists against each other.

In one corner, we have Hannibal Barca of Carthage weighing in at...hmm...I don't know how much he weighs. But regardless, I will take the role of Hannibal for the first battle. He is the crusher of Romans; the master of ambushes; sneakier than a hungry, Spartan kid...he is Hannibal Barca of Carthage!

In the other corner we have Alexander the Great. Undefeated in battle; sacker of fortresses; a warrior-king who fought the enemy in close combat; enjoyed long walks in the desert; he is King Alexander III of Macedon! My opponent (who shall remain anonymous) takes the role of Alexander the Great.

Stay tuned for the follow-up battle where I take command of Alexander the Great's Macedonian army against Hannibal.

I love you're battles, but would'nt it be intersting if Genghis Khan and Saladdin fought each other?

Prince, at the battle of Cannae didn't Hannibal still have his elephants he began his campaign with? My memory may not be so well as i no longer have the literature to lay proof to my claim but i don't believe he had lost his elephants by the time of the battle of Cannae. Let me know if I'm mistaken please

@TheElite3740

you engage an enemy unit with your unit and the resulting conflict holds the enemy unit in one place (this represents the 'anvil') then you repeatedly charge the rear of the enemy unit with cavalry (this represents the hammer bashing the 'metal' against the anvil) hopefully thats an adequate decision.

[TheElite3740]

What is a hammer and anvil stikre?

[The0megaStorm]

Why didn't you use elephants, Hannibal used them a lot

It was a joke, brosephus maximus.

@PrinceofMacedon Dude, why did you call Hannibal "Spartan kid" in the description. Did he have any family members relating him to the greeks??? O_o
