Batalla de Zama 1962

Second game in the Grandes Batallas del Mundo (GBM) series.

Batalla de Zama is a "wargame", based on the battle at Zama 202 BC, where Annibal lost against Publio Cornelio Escipion. It was the end of the Second Punic War.

It has simple rules: The units can move one to three spaces (depends of each type) and battles are resolved by dice rolls; thus modified by strength of the units (infantry, cavalry, elephant) and area. The aim is to kill the opponents leaders or to capture the opponents "flag-spaces".

The miniatures are beautiful hand painted figures.

The rules and the units are similar to the components of the first GBM game (Batalla del Metauro). The board is the main difference. It inlcudes also a new miniature, the Roman Trumpeter. the new rules for this unit are printed on the back of the board. This game was only published by Rojas y Malaret in Spain.
