In part 20 we continue where we left off after the 2nd Battle of Nola, with Hannibal wintering in Apulia in late 215 BC, and we go up to the Battle of Tarentum in the spring of 212 BC. I won’t give any other spoilers!

When this part 20 was released, I first worked again through parts 1 – 19 and I have to say that part 20 connects seamlessly. Compared to the earlier parts not much spectaculars is happening in part 20 , yet you guys have been able to keep it interesting and even exciting. Chapeau!
Oh hannibal just annihilated every roman man in the country. Spawns 18 legions out of dust
