I think I am slowly figuring it out.  :-)

Test summary from TripleA, engine version: 1.6.1.4, time: 00:58:23

Awesome game table!

The way the debate initially began was my claim which was something like this - Napoleon’s subjugation of continental Europe is more impressive than Hannibal’s failed invasion of Italy.

After reading that Mr. Crunch came in with his “quite a feat” and it has deteriorated to this.

Well initially Mr. Crunch claimed that bringing the elephants to Europe was quite a feat.  I tend to disagree because of the route taken and the fact the route was not contested. Hannibal only had to transport the elephants, oversea, the short distance from North Africa to southern Spain. And again this route was not contested by the Romans. Getting the elephants over the Alps WAS quite a feat.

Further evidence supporting my supposed false claim #1

Furthermore, the morale effect of this victory was such that most of Southern Italy joined Hannibal’s cause. After the Battle of Cannae, the Hellenistic southern provinces of Arpi, Salapia, Herdonia, Uzentum, including the cities of Capua and Tarentum (two of the largest city-states in Italy) all revoked their allegiance to Rome and pledged their loyalty to Hannibal.

1. I like how you left out the PERHAPS when I stated the Roman Republic was also loosely unified. Very convenient of you to do so. But anyway there is this

Hannibal’s perilous march brought him into the Roman territory and frustrated the attempts of the enemy to fight out the main issue on foreign ground. His sudden appearance among the Gauls of the Po Valley, moreover, enabled him to detach those tribes from their new allegiance to the Romans before the latter could take steps to check the rebellion

2. Hannibal MARCHED into Italy with a CARTHAGINIAN army. Does that not show support?

He did not receive reinforcements from Carthage. Maybe the Carthaginian Senate didn’t think he could win?

I just want to contradict you

I make no bold claims. Hannibal Marched into Italy. I think the green line proves it.

Yeah according to the green line Hannibal MARCHED into Italy  :-D

@Gargantua:

I think Mal’s arguement has more -substance in reality- if we’re going to go there… ;)

Yeah I was aware of your position so I will have to disagree with you both. Good discussion though.

although the fruit in the picture doesn’t look very happy

I like both

I do wish it was possible to compare the GDP differential.
