This looks familiar

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 have an old boardgame, which looks almost exactly the same.
The counters, the battlemap and seemingly the map of Italy, any notes on this?

Cool. I played it a few times some 20 years ago and liked it, especially battles and things like the countermix.

I guess, I will have to buy it [:D]

Very nice indeed! [:)]

More of this please - it pracically screams for a series of games. It feels and looks very different, plays fast and has that "just another turn" effect.
