A Boy's Oath is a campaign scenario set in the 2nd Punic War. The title is based on a story told by Polybioan and Livy's later amendment of the words of the supposed oath taken by a nine year old Hannibal. Many historians question the validity of the oath but it makes for great drama. Hence, the name of the new campaign scenario.
I have plenty of Gauls, Spanish and Numidians for the campaign which can be used to flesh out the Cartghagians plus I have the beginning of a Middle Republican Roman army and enough Greeks to make up the Massillan and Syracusan factions. There are some odds and ends (such as Gallic Chariots to complete a Gallic faction, Ligurian allies, Illyrian allies) that I need to paint to complete the base forces for each faction.

Campaign Rules - the basic outline of the campaign rules is complete and now I am working on the finer details to make it a 2nd Punic Wars campaign set.
That's a great campaign map! I've been wanting to do a solo Punic Wars campaign but I can't make up my mind on how to do it. I keep making a start on the map and then decide to scrap it and start again!
