British and Roman infantry took a defensive position and generally held firm against the mounted archers. Some intense skirmishing on the flanks bloodied both side with a number of superior nomad light horse fighting on until auto break. British left wing had the largest concentration of troops from both sides and Roman horse and British chariots broke the Hephtalites on this wing to gain the victory. The Hephtalites had broken through the other wing, but no time to turn back to help their comrades. GG

defeats
ulysisgrunt Roman 313378 with Germanic Horse tribe 41% loss

Right side of map was unavailable due to mountains although there was a valley between slopes offering access to the enemy. British ignored the valley on deployment, but had to rush some infantry there as the Roman and Horse tribes were moving some cavalry down it. Initial fight in main area was between the Roman and Germanic mounted lancers against the British warbands and Roman allied infantry line with chariots in support. Warbands managed to hold against the lancers and their skirmishers helped to thin the lancers. The Roman infantry, having held back to guard their side of the valley followed up a few turns behind the lancers and their auxilia began to melee with the warbands. The British were having success in the melees in the centre and had built a lead by thinning some of the lancers, but the cavalry force sent down the valley smashed through the rushed British defence and were now threatening the right just as their superior heavy foot were arriving and overpowering the British left. Another turn and British would have lost 3 or 4 units so the victory came at a crucial time. GG

Kroche Ancient British 60BC-80AD w Roman 24BC 40% loss
defeats
tyronec Roman 24-196 + Nabataean 64% loss

An open map with patches of rough ground left and right of centre. British concentrated infantry on left side with mobile forces mainly on the right. Initial clash was on the right between skirmishers, cavalry and chariots. The Romans had the better time here and had some infantry in support. The main lines met on the left, warbands benefitted from being able to occupy the rough ground there as Roman archers were the only medium unit to compete with. The lines clashed for a long time, warbands performed very well, helped by 2 on 1 legion in a couple of spots and British chariots had time to move round the rough and threaten Roman flanks. top half of the main line (my view) was turning in favour of British while the Romans were stronger in the bottom half. Difference was British defeated the Romans in the top half while the Romans could not get the rolls to win where they were stronger. The Roman left wing had arrived to support in the last couple of turns and warbands were finally creaking, but had done enough damage to win the field. GG

Strange game fought entirely in a small wood to the North of the map. Officially a draw I think but Rockmanbob123 edged it 41-49 at the final whistle.
