Please note

• The defender selects an army list from the TT Mod v1.5.32b, whose time period overlaps the current round's (190 - 140 BC) and whose geographic location fits the attacked province.
  • If the Romans historically had conquered the attacked province in full by that time period, there will be a civil war battle, using the same Roman army list for the defender (albeit without allies).
  • Please use a generous, friendly and constructive approach, both when it comes to selecting army lists (especially as defender) and when it comes to approving or disapproving such army lists (especially as attacker) .

• The defender thereafter creates the game (with himself as Side B), using the TT Mod v1.5.32b, posting in the campaign thread and PM'ing the attacker.

• The attack will take the form of a Custom Battle:
  • Scenario: Open Battle.
  • Turn limit: 24 turns.
  • Map size: Wide (40x32).
  • Force size: as per above (i.e., the defender always 1600 FP).
  • Map type: as per above.
  • No map re-rolls will be made.

• The winner, or the player having incurred the fewest casualties, reports the results in the campaign thread.

• Battles to be concluded and reported within a reasonable time period, let's aim for six weeks, i.e., by October 22 at latest.

Thank Deeter.

2.2. deeter as Roman 199-106 BC with Greek (Western) 280-49 BC allies (1680 FP) defeats Africa with Aetius39 as opponent (1600 FP). 62-56.

The Africans had the advantage of a deep stream along their front and rough ground on one flank. They also maxed out on phalanxes, bring eight, but deployed back somewhat from the stream. The Romans had the advantage in medium foot though and used the rough both as an avenue of approach and a way to channel the pikes into a narrow front.

This worked out pretty well but the fight swayed back and forth for a long time. In the end, the Africans broke first. The outcomes would have been different without the Roman 80 pt. advantage.

Deeter

It finished some time ago with a victory for Deeter, unfortunately details are no longer available from the records of concluded games and I can't recall much about it.
