If the spear lose a base first the Romans choose to loose a base from anywhere but opposite the dead base and get two of thier bases fitghing at + next turn. If the Romans loose first the spears take their loss from where the Romans have died and the Romans only get one base at +.
How about the following additional line:
If both players must remove bases, the active player does so second.

No problem there. I think the active player should have any advantage there may be.

Howdy,
Element loss is interesting facet of combat;
In a Parthian vs. Carthaginian game last week, I had a unit of L/H engaged (not by choice) to some Gallic Cav in front of one of my Cataphract units. The L/H got smacked around, and then broke. If I removed the right element as a loss, the L/H could contract a base whilst routing and thus clear the w element-wide Cataphracts behind them withough causing a stir. Certainly helps with multiple lines!
