The Spanish Under Sertorius
The Celtiberian heavies still have the best chance against the Romans in the open, but so far, in three or four games, once the Roman legionaries connect...it's been a slaughter. The trick for the Spanish is to delay that hit as long as possible! So skirmishers out front just hoping to entangle with Roman skirmishers...but there's no way the Roman CAN put skirmishers out in front of his heavies for fear of them getting tangled up and delaying that eventual hit.
Of course the Spanish end up with droves of bodies on the flanks...hoping for that glorious encirclement. Will Pompey's Gallic cavalry hold them off? Will his tiny band of Cretans delay them long enough? Tune in next weekend (or whenever I finally manage to post the results), same FoG channel, same FoG time!
The Romans Under Pompey the Young
The best troops in the army, aside from the legionaries, is the superior armoured Gallic cavalry. Working together as two 4-paks with commander(s), they can more than hold their own against any of the Spanish cavalry. Supported by those nimble Cretans (who also are superior...rerolling those pesky '1s'), they can be extremely effective on one flank. Only prob...there's another flank!
