Total War History: Battle of Cannae (Part 5/5)

Video

Tactically the battle has been decided... but the killing has only just begun! We will now have to consider just how the Romans, who still significantly outnumbered their opponents, were massacred so one-sidedly.

(Scene of Cannae in military academy is from the mini series Forward Unto Dawn)
