Did you use a different mix in Rome?
It was exactly the same. Since it was a spur of the moment decision to go then I just needed to get a list in quick.

In hindsight I think that the two BG's of Unprotected Cavalry aren't worth it - one wil suffice. Against Drilled MF they can get into all sorts of trouble and simply aren't manoeverable enough to get out of the way.

I am probably looking at other armies now anyway, I don't want to use Skythians any time shortly after the amount I have played with them in the last couple of months.
I can certainly understand wanting to try a different type of army for a while. There isn't a lot of variety in the Skythian mix. It sounds like Tim's account of your game from Rome may be interesting for what Hannibal has to say about the use of drilled MF ;-).
