Hannibal!

 


I recently received a nice package from Second Chance Games, Hold the Line: Hannibal by Worthington Games. I pre-ordered many months ago. The box weighs around 4kgs and has a lovely mounted board (useful for many games, not just this one) and multiple heavy counter sheets with terrain, units and commanders.

I am a fan of Hold the Line and very pleased to see it extended into the ancients era. Very much looking forward to getting to grips with this. For me, this is a very rare purchase but quite an exciting one.

In other news our beloved black Labrador, Monty, passed away after a long battle with cancer. He remained brave and happy to the end. RIP Monts!

  3. Hi Jay, sorry to hear of your sad news about Monty. The game looks good, I saw a short video clip about it a fortnight ago, there is a lot in that box!

    2. I empathize - Our oldest cat passed last year and it left a big hole in the family.
