Hannibal & Hamilcar

Reinforcements arrive in the Reinforcement subphase according to the faction-specific placement restrictions and procedures (see Reinforcements and consul/proconsul placement on p.7), while Scipio Africanus is handled as a special reinforcement in the Strategy Phase rules on p.8.

Each OP on a Strategy Card may be spent either to move a general/army or to place Political Control (PC) as described in the Strategy Card and OP rules; you choose one effect per OP when you play it (see p.8–9 for card elements and OP uses).

Stacking and general subordination rules define how many combat units and generals may form an army and which general commands subordinate units; rank and subordination determine who may move or be left behind when armies split or combine (see stacking, rank and movement on p.11).

Land interceptions may be attempted when an enemy force has the right to intercept during movement and follow the interception restrictions, die roll and backing-up procedure; the full interception timing, die resolution and multiple-interception rules are on p.15–16.

Battle losers suffer casualties, possible attrition rounds and must retreat according to the retreat and withdrawal procedures (including penalties and how to attempt a withdrawal); detailed resolution of casualties, retreat losses, withdrawal attempts and attrition (including siege-related attrition) are on p.19–21 and siege attrition on p.25.

PC placement, conversion and the rules for removing isolated Political Control markers (including when and how they are removed) are covered with examples and procedures on p.23.
