Ampsicora: Campidano Plain 215AC – Scenario for Centuria Miniature Wargaming in the Ancient Period

Ampsicora supplement for Centuria There are many events of antiquity that deserve to be explored. One of those is the first great uprising in Sardinia. Not so much for the outcome (the defeat of the Sardinian-Punic, Carthaginian, and Iliese coalition by the Romans led by Titus Manlius Torquatus), but for the fact that this event represented, at the very least, the first sign of recovery by the Romans after Hannibal’s climatic victory at Cannae. By regaining possession of Sardinia, the Romans were better able to control the western Mediterranean, and able to gain access to Sardinian wheat, which was used to feed their growing armies. One similarity between Hannibal and Ampsicora was that after their defeats, their cities of origin—Carthage and Cornus, respectively, were razed by the Romans. A copy of Centuria is required to use this supplement.
