As is my want, I like to set up dioramas and vignettes on my game table for a variety of reasons. One reason is to take figures that I have not seen for awhile and get them out of storage and on to the table top. Another reason is to set out my armies for a project and make an assessment of its progress at this point in time.

| John Jenkins Designs 54mm Republican Roman |
I have placed my Punic War Carthaginians and Romans on my game table to see how things are looking, project wise, and I set up a camp or town vignette for Team Roman.

| Giving equal time to Hannibal and his Carthaginians, as one is want to do. |
Most of the figures shown in the vignettes are either 54mm or 60mm John Jenkins Designs or King & Country figures plus a few odd figures from hither and yon thrown in for good measure. I like to peruse the internet looking for likely inhabitants of my camp and town vignettes. The first picture below shows a strategy meeting among the Roman high command.

| Julius Caesar (I know, he wasn't in the Punic Wars but he looks good in the vignette), a Senator and a Tribune are checking out a map at the commander's tent. |

Stay tuned for more pictures over the coming days and weeks.
