Models for the wars between Carthage and Rome
I had previously purchased Irregular Miniatures for DBA armies for the Punic Wars. However I was a little disappointed with the sculpts so when I decided to expand my collection for ADLG I decided to start afresh with Forged in Battle miniatures (their War and Empire range) as I had seen and liked their WW2 miniatures.

Both the Republican Romans and the Carthaginians can take Numidian allies. Recall that the Republican Romans list is valid to 105 BC and the Carthaginians to 146 BC, so the Numidian allies will be restricted to their "Before 55 BC" options.

Numidians can also be allies to Triumvirate Roman (list #83) which is valid 105 BC to 25 BC. This would permit them to take the 55 BC + option of replace the medium swordsmen with heavy swordsmen impact.
Both the Republican Romans (no restrictions) and the Carthaginians (from 235 - 201 BC in Spain and Africa) can take Iberian allies. Iberian allies are a subset of the Spanish list. The table below shows the quantities available for allied contingents.
