I think this would be a very interesting option. At least a couple others seemed interested. Do we have enough people to make this viable? If you'd be willing to play in such a division, post here.

This is not something that I would want for the FOG2DL, so it would have to be organised separately from what I provide here.
I think this is a good idea, though I'm not enthused about the likelihood of there being more friggin Carthaginians running around in Classical........
One squared phalanx holds a hill against four warbands, passing an absurd amount of morale checks and tying them up long enough for the elephants and cavalry to wrap up the other flank.
A tough match, early the Ostrogoth bowmen gained the advantage winning the skirmish fight before concentrating fire on the Scots-Irish medium foot with some success. Swarms of screaming Scots-Irish soon struck back hitting the Gothic lancers hard with casualties mounting up on both sides. Fortunately, the Goths maintained the early advantage and ground out the win.
SawyerK (Seleucid 205-167 BC) outlasted Barrold713 (Pergamene 190-129) with a final score of 60-52.
It was an intense battle that saw the Seleucids on their last gasp at 59 only to have a routed pike unit rise to defragmentation. A few moves later the Pergamenes were briefly at 60 only to have an elephant resuscitate and keep the combat going. It came down to a few more heavy troops still fighting for the Seleucids and the remaining Pergamene archers unable to participate with the troops locked in combat.
