I designed a few scenarios here and they are pretty much done
Cannae is a monster btw at 300 battlegroups. But it actually plays well as either side vs AI or pbem.
It is the 8 double legion version (the Polybius, delbruck, connely, version) and was inspired by a version of cannae from the old gmt games gboh series.
The Battle of Dyrrhachium II:
Illyrian Coast, 48 BC
Caesar' Counterattack
Pompey, after having successfully broken Caesar's siege lines and gained access to valuable grazing lands to the south, has built a new and larger camp further south of the Lesnikia river. To reinforce his new position he has begun to enlarge and rebuild the old abandoned IXth Legion camp to his north.
With Pompey's naval forces in firm control of the sea and his land forces in strong blocking positions, Caesar is now running desperately low on supplies himself and must break through Pompey's lines. Caesar plans a night raid on the old IXth Legion camp now being rebuilt by one of Pompey's Macedonian legions...
Historical notes: Caesar conducted the assault during the night using the woods between his lines and the old IXth Legion camp as his approach route. In the dark, the right wing grew confused as to their actual location and upon reaching the wall between the old IXth camp and the Lesnikia river, panicked and broke, routing back to their new camp. Caesar's left wing having successfully taken the camp, were now left alone to face the full brunt of Pompey's 4 Legion counterattack. Alone, and with their morale sinking, the left wing finally broke and Caesar's counterattack failed. By virtue of the terrain and low light, his forces were able to escape back to the new IX Legion camp to fight another day... or night
