RE: Hannibal's Libyan Infantry
Hi Al.

Thanks, again a great comment.

When the 2nd Punic War began, the Phalanx wasn´t an effective tactic anymore. Although Alexanders successors still relied on this tactic, the battles of Cynoscephalae and Pydna disclosed the deadly inflexibility of the Phalanx. Hannibal´s Army consisted of very specialized troops: Spanish HI equiped with armor penetrating Falcata´s, Balearic Slingers used as short range art., Numidian Cavalry, Warelephants etc..
Assume Hannibal introduced combined arms warfare into military history.

Cheers, Klaus :smoke:
