grahamed Carthaginian Hannibal in Italy 216-203BC with Samnite allies beat SawyerK Roman 105-25 BC with Bithynian ally by 29 (12-41)
Florinus Florinus where are my legions! What? you say you lost to wood elves (samnite veterans) and monster bears (Elephants) across stream between a vast wood and a giant mountain!
An interesting and hard fought game by both sides....
The Legions drew up in the small space between the mountain range and the table edge opposite a huge wooded area where a stream ran across the only open area from the mountain to the wood. While a few brave cavalry scouts concealed themselves in another wood on the far side of the mountain.
A tiny Carthaginian cavalry and Samnite force drew up opposite the wood holding Roman scouts next to one of their own woods with a few spearmen, between the two Carthaginian woods stood a few spearmen and Carthage's pale imitation counterfeit Legion.
Opposite the two Carthaginian woods Half Rome's mighty Legions and auxilia ground forward toward the wood , met by a few Carthaginian infantry scouts screening the cowering conterfeit legions
The rest of the Legions with Florinus and most of his cavalry pushed between the mountain and the wood for the stream. Alas the Carthaginians were just too close to the stream and reached it first, all the while their foot and cavalry scouts creeping out of the woods to harass Florinus men.
Carthage's cavalry scouts over extended themselves racing for the mountain edge and Rome's brave Cavalry scouts leapt from their wood behind the Carthaginians to engage, the tussle lasted well into the battle until finally carthage's reinforcing horde arrived and Rome's scouts were overwhelmed.
Back opposite the two Carthaginian woods Rome's auxilia and legion pressed forward toward the woods, Carthage's counterfeit legions were joined by veteran spears when suddenly hordes of samnites poured like wood elves from the woods and began to overwhelm the roman auxiliaries and support troops. Noble legionaries helped by brave cavalry pushed forward, alas too far as more samnites poured out of all the woods spurred on by the sight of a huge monstrous creature charging from hiding in the wood so violently the carthaginian general riding him hit his head on a branch and fell off! The enraged creature hurled on breaking through and tearing along the Roman vanguards now ragged lines.
Over at the stream, try as the might, the legions and florinus just could not break through the veteran Carthaginians as more and more of their samnite friends poured out of woods to join the fray.
