This is a great scenario. There is an amazing amount of action, drama, uncertainty, and just plain fun packed into that little map with 10 cities.
I have played this one through to a win as both sides now. I just finished winning it as the Trojans.
I enjoyed the whole thing, but the was one battle right near the end, circa turn 130, that was one of those gaming moments you will remember a long time.
I was counter-attacking to recapture Skamandros. First I sent in a big stack of Levy with a few Skirmishers. They found Achilles and his Myrmidons, and got butchered, but they did kill most of his auxiliary troops.
Right behind them, I sent in Aineias with the best stack I could create, 7x Dardanian Nobles, 4x Thorakitai, 2x Prodromoi, 2x Cretan Skirmishers.
With his support units having been cleared by the first group, it wasn't too hard getting around his flanks.
Soon the battle came down to Aineias backed by a big mob of Dardanian Nobles (glowing a radioactive red), versus Achilles backed by his 3 units of Myrmidons, (glowing a cobalt blue).
I looked down carefully, and the two leaders were actually duking it out. I zoomed in and watched them duel for a long time, then Achilles got chopped, and Aineias swept the field.
Pretty cool, eh?
