The theme was globally "antique" . This time I used an Etruscan army with gallic and samnites allies
The first opponent would be Kostas and his Persian Royal Achaemenid
I expected to be out scouted and it did happen
Deploying the army
Persian infantry
My gallic ally
The samnite ally part of my workhorse
The close order infantry and the samnite "light" cavalry
Some elite persian cavalry and skilled shooters
If I wanted points I would have to go for it
Shield cover is interesting but shoot&charge is also a bonus
Going forward but slowly . Did not have the colours for a rush
The white linen legio is going towards the exceptional persian cavalry
The Etruscan heavy infantry goes in and will be joined by the Etruscan cavalry
Still manoeuvring and running after cavalry can take a long time to reach a conclusion
But finally we fight. 6 bases of exceptional persian cavalry vs 8 SUP and 8 average samnites infantry, all samnites being ME . It will be a very very hard fightI was loosing for some time then wining again
On the other flank I was slowly losing the fight
The Samnite cavalry is wondering: should we go in ?
Trying a desperate charge with the gallic chariotry to save the flank
Ready for the "final" glorious charge
Basically, my charges and fights went rather well and I managed to break his army but it was rather close.
The result 15-6 does not give enough credit to Kostas's play as it was quite a near thing rather balanced till the charge of the etruscan heavy infantry in the center and the gallic chariotry saving the day on my right flank ( I still lost my cavalry, the KAB killed my infantry ..)
A nice game
