Things went badly for the Romans right off the bat. In the initial clash between my heavy chariots and his cavalry and auxilla, I got a lucky die roll and killed his general. This pretty much doomed his left flank as he could not recover from his morale losses and soon his cavalry and an auxilla unit were routed off the field. The other auxilla unit smashed into my cavalry unit but I was able to break off and flank march away without taking any damage or morale loss. I ran up a unit of javalins to engage the remaining auxilla unit and ran up the cavalry and my heavy chariots to support the attack.
On the other flank my cavalry unit dashed around the archers and got behind them forcing them to turn around to protect themselves and keeping them from supporting his main attack against my defensive line of archers and elephants. When the Roman flank collapsedon my right, my cavalry unit on the left turned around and made a beeline for his camp.
The big battle in the center didn’t go well for the Romans either. I got in some lucky archery hits and held up their advance for a turn while they tried to recover from 3 disordered legions. When they did hit my line, the defensive bonuses I had held them to a single POA advantage (in the open he would have had two). I managed to fracture one of his legions and crushed his remaining auxilla unit which gave me the game. This would have been a totally different battle if I had to face those legions on open ground. I wonder if I can talk Rob into letting Gordon set up all the terrain for the tournament

) but you blow a death test and kiss your 2 stand elephant unit goodbye.
In fact, I rebased my elephants for FoG. While I might play WA again at some point, I won't play it again using the Indian list
