@F0nF0n: Yeah, plus the brute fact that Hannibal was just better. But they learned . . . after this they seem to have basically said, "Fabius was right, screw fighting this guy head to head, we'll just harass him, scorch the earth and cut off his supply. So it's slow and we look like wimps, it works."
Holy hell I thought for a moment that general would have avanged his friend like some shonen manga
Iam SO glad they subverted that expectations. Absolutely brutal love it.
