Both are definitely up there in complexity. Richard Berg, who's rules heavy, chart happy games never work out well on a strategic level, are much more tolerable and sensible on the operational or tactical level for Carthage. I've played out the Mercenary War scenario solitaire, which was a good training exercise. I'm going to try the Agothocles scenario next, which adds fleets and minor naval leaders.
I've only done a cursory overview of Army of the Heartland, but it looks interesting. It definitely has one of the most beautiful maps I've ever seen. But, I've decided to put it away for now until I can get a better handle on Carthage. :)
