[Chapter One] Information

Ancient armies are usually simple. The troop types are clear, the uniforms simple and some liberties can be taken. But you still need to grab the basics of your army. Specially a varied army like the Carthaginian forces.

Here you have some of the books I have used for information and inspiration.
Osprey books specially are aimed at the wargaming public. You´ll find them more than appropriate:

The Punic Wars 264-146 BC



Armies of the Carthaginian Wars 265-146BC



Rome´s Enemies 4: Spanish Armies



And of course you have the internet.
A good place to start is Hat´s uniforms guide. They have drawings for almost their complete line of models: http://www.hat.com/ColorsU.html

So here we go. Check next week for the first painted models.

Cheers!
