Asterix_von_TWC and his Roman 320-261 BC army with Pergamene 262-191 BC ally

by 40-13.

The Macedonians fought their way through a swamp on their left flank, which allowed their cavalry to loop closely around the swamp and come down on the Romans' rear. And it was a close-fought thing as the Romans were about to turn the flank on the other side.

Division C

vakarr Bithynian 297-74 BC with Galatian 280-63 BC Allies
defeats rockmanbob123 Selecuid 124 -63

Score 55-64

A very hard fought game, where both side's right flanks collapsed. The Seleucid right flank was stronger, being made up of cataphracts and the like, and took much longer to go down. It took up to four Bithyian units to defeat each cataphract unit. As a result, the Seleucid position looked stronger for most of the game. In the centre, there was a hill that was fought over by the warbands, medium infantry and pikemen over and over again. There was one combat where pikemen and warbands fought toe to toe for turn after turn, and the pikemen rallied on the second last turn. Meanwhile the Seleucid infantry from their left flank had begun to arrive (there was nothing Bithynian left to oppose them on that flank) and were making their presence felt. The score was 55-58 in the Bithynians favour. It looked like the Seleucids would win on the following turn when suddenly, the pikemen auto-broke and the game was over.

Division C

vakarr Bithynian 297-74 BC with Galatian 280-63 BC Allies defeats
Ironclad Carthaginian (Hannibal in Italy) 218-217

Score: 55-64

Ironclad played skilfully and the result was in doubt right up to the end, with the score often in the Carthaginians' favour. The trouble for the Bithynians began when the line of light troops clashed, with the Bithynian peltasts assuming they would win. However, a Thracian peltast unit became fragmented and bounced off on it's first charge against an ordinary light javelin unit. This messed up the Bithynian line and the Carthaginians quickly exploited the gap, as well as mistakes in the Bithynian deployment. The Bithynians hid most of their army in hills and woods and deployed well back, giving them a cavalry superiority on their right flank. However the Carthaginians responded by moving their cavalry to their other flank, which they were able to do as the Bithynian army was slowly moving up over the hills. Finally there was a clash of warbands in the centre, with elephants and cavalry on one flank, and medium foot on the other. The superior warbands eventually won their fights but were often taken in flank afterwards. There was one particular clash between an elephant and warband unit, next to a Celtic chariot and heavy cavalry unit, that went for almost the entire game, with the Carthaginians fighting uphill but otherwise fighting hard and often winning. It was this group that finally routed and (combined with some Bithynian rallies) lost the game.

Two smallish rough hills and a low rise dominated the centre of the field. I managed to gain a small height advantage in the infantry battle, by redeploying a big part of my cavalry. When the lines met though this meant that part of my horse were caught on the rough hills. Even with the height advantage and the odd flank the infantry battle was tough (Romans are always so hard to shift!). The Romans were ahead for a good part of the game - a tough fight.

Garokan Parthian 250 BC - 225 AD + Seleucid 166

50:17

Lots of cavalry on both sides led to a swirling melee of death. The battle could have gone either way at one point and The Macedonians came off better. the Macedonian elephants held up very well despite battling with a phalanx for much of the melee. By the end I had 5 units fragmented (including both elephants) and 2 disrupted, versus the Parthians 3 disrupted units. Another turn would have seen the Macedonians lose all their advantage but some fortuitous pursuit paths just tipped the balance before the Parthians could strike. A much closer game than the score suggests. Those Cataphracts were nasty.

Division C

vakarr Bithynian 297-74 + Galatian 280-63 allies defeats Rob123 Macedonian 320-261 + Greek 280-228 allies

Score: 61-37

A hard fought battle that seemed to go in the Macdonians' favour much of the time. The Bithynian left flank was only covered by cavalry that was matched by a Macedonian contingent but there was a gap between the cavalry and the infantry which, after a cautious start, was fully exploited. Soon, it looked like the Bithynian flank would be rolled up from left to right, with nothing to stop the routs. However, the Bithynians didn't give up and the resilience of the warbands told, despite all the superior this and superior that, in the Macedonian army. A desperate charge by a superior warband fragmented a pike unit and turned the game around. The Bithynians had Macedonian troops to their rear and left flank but they were all slow moving infantry and somehow the Bithynians managed to rally or hold on long enough (e.g. there was a clash between elephants and warbands that went for nine turns) for a win.
