Battle Day 2010

Battle Day 2010 will see the mighty Hannibal meet his nemesis, Scipio Africanus, on the field of Zama in 202BC. As usual, the event will be held at Bletchley Hall, and we are also hoping to run "sister events" in other locations. Mark your calendar (and remember to bring plenty of elephants!) for 17th April 2010 (not 24th April, as previously advertised). More information should appear on the Battle Day page soon.
