Allies query . . .

I am just starting to check army selections for the FOG2DL and I found this possible anomaly . . .
Carthaginian (Hannibal in Italy) 216-203 BC can have Samnite allies 355-272 BC. Is that correct? There is no overlap in the dates is the issue. Thanks.

It is correct. The Samnites did not have an independent state at this point, but rebelled and supported Hannibal. Whether they still fought in their traditional style is unknown, but possible enough to allow the ally option.
The Date and Geography filters may need to be turned off to create the challenge, depending on the opponent, but the same applies to other lists.
