ONUS! Rome Vs Carthage

This is an ancient-warfare tabletop game that recreates battles of the Roman Republic and its opponents, focusing on the Second Punic War but adaptable to conflicts from the 3rd to 1st centuries BC. Players command formations represented by unit cards—centuries, maniples, cavalry squadrons and war elephants—each with stats for melee, ranged attack, defense, morale, life and movement, plus unit-specific skills and activated abilities. A general token provides leadership bonuses and morale support, and special units such as heroes, veterans and elites add unique effects. Gameplay proceeds in six phases per turn: unit activation via order cards, movement and charges, ranged attacks, skirmisher actions, resolution of combats, and fleeing/morale movement.
