Opening Moves

Hannibal: Rome and Carthage in the Second Punic War is a new and innovative turn-based strategy game that puts you in command of the Carthaginian military during a period of total war over land and sea with the young Roman Republic. With this military juggernaut of the ancient world at your disposal, you will vie for control over Italy, Carthage, Spain and the Mediterranean Sea using a combination of strategic political maneuvering and sheer tactical skill both on land and sea. Play consists of two layers; the first is a strategic layer where you must prudently steer your forces to the destruction of Rome’s army and the ultimate destruction of the Republic and city itself. At your disposal are a variety of unit types and historical commanders from which to form your armies. On the tactical scale, when meeting the enemy in battle, skilled leadership and a knack for war come into play as you use a simple but engaging battle system to best your opponents.

I'm playing the Demo right now, and am finding this game a real surprise. I didn't think I'd like it, but tried it just for kicks, and have found that the AI is kicking my butt!

I do okay in Spain, but am really frustrated with what Hannibal ought to do in the first few turns. Any favorite moves out there?

Great game, and I'll bet I'll be buying it soon! (I really need to buy stock in Matrix!)[&:]
