Landing in the midst of the very crowded terrain, the Romans acted like Hansel and Gretel after the birds cleaned up their trail. While the armoured Roman legionaries and cataphracts and cavalry wandered like lost sheep, the Vandal swarm picked off the weaker elements in the Roman herd like the MF and the protected legionaries. Only towards the very end did the cream of the Romans finally get into the fight and start to make the Vandals and their Quadi allies suffer a bit more but not enough to delay the Romans demise. The Roman camp was also sacked since today's degenerate descendants of the glorious conquerors of the world no longer even bother to fortify their camp.
Vandals: 34/64 (3751/19200)
Romans: 41/40 (5146/12000)
Thanks for the game.

Thats not quite how I recall it happening, although in the end it was defeat for sure
Our histories will write how the Vandals, contrary to the accepted rules of war chose a battle field of corn fields and hills and hid behind a river to boot, and then surged fowrd in one mass regardless of tactics or caring of their own losses. The Romans had no choice but to make a defensive fight on a thin slip of hill to be swamped out by superior #'s.
**note to all I will be away from sunday thru sunday without access to FOG, although i likly will have the ocasional internet access. Thus, i should be able to make a stategic move or two. If the barbarains continue to harry the West , I will leave command of my armies to my esteemed Eastern Emperor . Have mercy on our souls. (just kidding deadtorius

Have a good holiday Gray
