The Battle Digest summary includes all the key aspects of the campaign and battle, including maps, images, and lessons learned.

After raising the largest army they had ever fielded, they sent it against Hannibal, who had just seized an important grain supply depot at Cannae. But Hannibal was more than ready. On that fateful day, he handed Rome one of the most crushing defeats in history.
