Forum Gallorum, 43 BC

Post by Lupus »

Hi,

I created a scenario for the Battle of Forum Gallorum in 43 BC. You can download it here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/540539/Forum%20 ... 2043BC.zip

Comments are very welcome.

--------

From Wikipedia:

The Battle of Forum Gallorum was fought near a village in northern Italy (perhaps near modern day Castelfranco Emilia), on April 14, 43 BC, between the forces of Mark Antony and the legions of the Roman Republic under the overall command of consul Gaius Vibius Pansa Caetronianus, aided by Aulus Hirtius and the untested Octavian (the future Caesar Augustus). After months of negotiations between the Senate and Antony did little to settle the questions of power and government after Caesar's assassination, this conflict became unavoidable.
Antony had Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus confined in position around Mutina (modern Modena), just south of the Padus (Po) River on the via Aemilia. Pansa was sent north from Rome to link with Hirtius and Octavian, bringing four legions of recruits in order to provide Brutus with aid. Antony, seizing the central position, hoped to deal with the enemy in piecemeal fashion, destroying the columns one at a time.
On April 14, Antony's legions (II an XXXV) collided with those of Pansa, in the village of Forum Gallorum.

Nice scenario Lupus, i really like the oblique deployment of the forces, lets one view something other than the backsides of your troops.
Those baggage units had more of a punch than I thought, didnt think they would frag a cavalry unit on impact!, must have been Hussites in there!
