The Punic War Project Research

After much contemplation I have decided to begin a Punic War project, and I will be starting with the Carthaginians. To me, Carthage is a great mystery of the ancient world - we know some, but not much, due in very large part to their complete destruction at the hands of the Romans. Before I dive into the painting, army building and campaigning that most people associate with table-top wargaming I want to understand Carthage, its history and its military.

I have begun reading and marking Livy's Hannibals' War and thus far it has been fantastic.

I have ordered several models from Gripping Beast to begin my army and when they arrive I will post photos and reviews.

  1. The fake rolex dial of the Bulova A-15 Pilot, while definitely recognizable as a pilot’s watch, takes a different fake rolex tack from its German contemporaries in terms of design. Whereas the classic A-Uhr flieger design was fake rolex ultra-modern, minimal, and legibility-forward for the time, the American equivalent of the A-15 Pilot trends toward packing fake Rolex as much functionality into one dial as possible and preserving a few more ornate elements. Looking at the bare basics of the replica rolex design, the large lumed Arabic numerals and railroad seconds track root the design in the early 20th replica rolex century, especially once the surprisingly delicate spade and sword handset is added to the mix. Just inboard of the large hour replica rolex numerals is a second 24-hour scale in high-visibility yellow, useful for keeping track of military time at a glance. The replica Rolex period correct Bulova print logo is here, as well, showing the dedication for authenticity that really sets this watch apart from lesser reissues. The A-15’s fake watches party piece, however, is its pair of rotating inner bezels. While the outer ring features a full minutes scale, the rolex replica inner ring features a 12-hour track.
