The center of the map contained a decent sized hill that both armies started behind and roughly centered on. The Macedonians went up the hill, while the Carthaginians feigned like they would follow, but then withdrew their center and left to rough ground just below it (except some ele and cav sent far left to meet the Macedonian lancers), and flanked in a large block of impact foot to the right. The Macedonian Pikes took the hill, but their weak left flank of Thureophoroi and Thorakitai just to the side of the hill were quickly routed by a huge mass of charging scutarii and warband combined with noble cavalry flanks. Then, the pikes were left with the prospect of staying in place and being surrounded, or coming down off the hill and breaking their formation. They chose the latter option and charged, routing and scattering a number of inferior Carthaginian foot. For a moment they looked to have the advantage, but that charge opened them up too much. Spread out all over the place, they were flanked first by the warband and scutarii they were now in and among, and then from elephants and cavalry coming back from their own right/the Carthaginian left after the lancers there were broken by those elephants.

gg to phoyle, it was a high casualty game that was uncertain until pretty near the end.

harveylh - Roman 199-106BC with Greek allies 227-146BC defeats XLegione - Antigonid 320-301 BC, 56-30

A constrained battlefield limited maneuver so the Romans smashed the Antigonid left flank while their own left flank was defeated. However, routed pikes count more towards defeat than MI. Good game.
