I have managed it to kill a 2 Flag general (Pjius, it was a 2 flag general? Perhaps you can verify it.)

Inital Army Strength/Casualties
Finir 13920 / 1989, Pijus Magnificus 9460 / 3431

Yes it was a 2 flag general. Nice game!

Ahead, in the valley, the river Ghagra had during the summer drought almost dried up. The riverbed had turned into streams of water, along with marshes, beds of reeds and vegetation. Across and through the vegetation were three tracks. The third track on my right split into a further track. On the hills across the riverbed could be seen Blathergut army. The camp fires plainly visible to my right.

Upon the hour, trumpets sounded and his army of archers moved forward, between the first and fourth tracks, followed by the sound of elephants, and chariots. The battle had begun.
His forest archers crossed a stream on my right, only to be pushed back by my cavalry. Between his archers on the fourth track, two gigantic elephants appeared, straddle by its armed riders.

My bull wagon ploughed forwarded in the centre together with some archers, and together had fired a volley of arrows.
Outnumbered 59 to 47 BG this terrain may suit my enemy, but the earlier volley’s from both sides mainly fell on empty ground, a single group of forest archers had taken some (F) hits.

To my left flank of his archers move forward, his centre has navigated a stream and is on an island.., will his centre push forward more. An elephant can be seen supporting a few archers along with javelin men. On my right in front of his camp, it already appears to be a standoff, both forces separated by a stream.

I decide to withdraw, my cavalry, and attack some archers in the vegetation just off the fourth track to my right, a total of three battle groups attack... no really success (D). How every it does reveal more his elephant and across the stream a heavy chariot... this looks like his main force.

The water clock having just past three notches.

Then his elephants charge....chaos reigns, my troops and generals flee, and I never again gain any control...
It’s time to turn around and look for a new path of enlightenment.... (sulks)

Yes guilty as charged - lost my sub general as well as my army & my dignity.

Of course it's all part of my cunning plan ....

sub general ... is that a troop, or field general... one flag or two, or was he in the navy?
Will treat this as troop general until confirmed.

Does your plan involve a large oddly shaped turnip ?
