Division B
Swuul Egyptian 664-571 with Assyrian allies beat ulysisgrunt Roman 105-25 with Numidian allies 60-55
Talk about a slugfest! Egyptians decided to focus on their right flank, and neutralise the large Roman cavalry contingent. Egyptian mounted troops, missile troops and some spears accomplished the task, gaining a good lead early on. Meanwhile the Egyptian center and left bravely fell back in front of the legionares, hoping the Egyptian flankers would come to their aid in time. The legionares however eventually catched the egyptian main line. and the egyptians folded like an egyptian spearwall, nearly winning the battle for Rome. The flankers were racing back, missile troops shooting and throwing everything, and the some crucial flank charges were able to rout enough romans to just tip the scales before the rest of the romans had time to turn back and help the flanked troops (and some of the roman cavalry which had ran off the field made comeback to the field, but happily (for the egyptians) they did not have time to affect the outcome)).
Thank you for a very nice game! I now know the definition for the word "slugfest"!
