Three hills in the central area. Carthaginians advanced their left to occupy the hill on that side and could deploy a force in a central hill at outset. Romans concentrated forces to advance on the other central hill with a valley of a few squares between them and Carthaginian right. Skirmishers met in the valley as the Romans shifted their main forces in a move towards the Carthaginian left wing which held the hill. Carthaginian lights, as supported by infantry, got ahead in the skirmisher battle in the valley, but the Roman mass was concentrating towards the Carthaginian left so their right side could not afford to be too delayed by the skirmish and needed to move in support. The deciding area of battle was the Roman attack on the Carthaginian left. The left most Carthaginian units stood firm against Roman charge and were advantaged in the melees that followed. The medium units to their right fared less well and the Romans took this part of the hill. The Roman far right of 2 cavalry and 1 elephant were held up from being able to flank the Carthaginian line by a desperate defence - heavy chariot stood against the elephant in melee for most of the battle. Carthaginian light horse chased down a couple of skirmisher units in the last turn which got 60%. If Romans had another turn they could have won as they had most of their main infantry standing while the Carthaginian foot was very weak after the fighting on the hill and the Carthaginian supporting force was one or two turns from annihilation after having to engage with Veteran Legionaries to help relieve their left wing.

The initial clashes saw the overwhelming numbers of Bactrian light troops destroy the Bithynian lights and cause damage to the Bithynian heavy cavalry. The Bactrians had a great start, with their left flank guarded by cavalry on a hill and the elephants +lancers holding the other Bithynian cavalry and warbands. However, once the Bithynian medium foot came to grips with the lights, a hole was torn in the Bactrian line. The Bactrian light cavalry couldn't hold the Bithynian heavy cavalry and chariots, which got into the Bactrian rear at a couple of crucial locations. The cataphracts looked like carrying all before them when a chariot charge into their rear caused a double drop - this was so unlike previous games, where it took four units to defeat the cataphracts. Luckily, there was only one cataphract unit and perhaps that's where the Bactrians were weak, or was it just luck that saw another chariot charge into the broken cataphracts and pursue into some nearby lancers and also cause the main Bactrian infantry line to waver? The Bactrians on their left flank hill were doing Ok, with superior warbands forced to charge lancers uphill but the Bithynians sent reinforcements to their beleaguered right flank that kept it going long enough to survive until the end. On the final turn there was no luck for the Bactrians, who experienced a series of routs and push-backs, while the Bithynians rallied. The Bactrians played well, I can't really say why they didn't win! I guess it was all down to the resilience of the warbands and the luck of the Bithynian cavalry and light chariots.
