01 ORDER OF BATTLE

-

Having failed to convince Scipio to agree to peace, Hannibal deploys his 80 elephants in two divisions at the front of his army and positions his Gauls and mercenarie­s in the first row behind them. His raw recruits form the second line, followed by his highly experience­d veterans. In contrast, Scipio neatly aligns his army into three rows split into columns with gaps between them. He positions his light skirmisher­s within these openings.
