*VTW mod is were all the odd units come from...* *Made up names to protect the inocent... ~D *
The year was 200 BC... The war between Scythia and The House of Julii had been rageing for 70 years... With no end in sight, the Romans launched an attack at the bridge that alowed my reenfourcements to come across the river into Roman lands...
The Scythian Captin, Cpt. Zukhov, tried to hold the bridge. But failed and lost 1/2 of my Heavy Axman and Swords men... The bridge was named Red Square to somemorait the solders who had fallen...
The Romans held on the the bridge unchalenged while my men on the Roman side were cut to peaces with out reenfourcements...
With my faction leader, and faction heir dead... a little known family member named Gen. Molotov, decided to make his mark on history with a counter attack.
Gen. Molotov did not have the numbers to re-take the bridge. However, his fources combined with those of Cpt. Zukhovs that had survived the battle, as well as Cpt. Mosijev as reserves, could just break the Roman lines...
The Scythians mustered 10,000 infantry and 2,000 cavelry for the attack. The Romans had 8,000 infantry and 500 cavelry.
The attack comenced in the middle of winter... Molotov would lead the attack.
Molotov gave a good prep talk to the dirt farmers that Scythia called solders, that went something like...
Molotov: Any man cought leaveing his post, will... be... EXECUTED! Do not forget your duty to the mother land! NOT ONE STEP BACKWARDS!
Zukhov: NO HESITATION COMRADES! DO NOT TAKE ONE STEP BACKWARDS!
Officer: FOR MOTHER RUSSIA COMRADES! DO NOT TURN YOUR BACK ON HER!
Zukhov: VICTORY OR DEATH!
Then, the entire Scythian line surged forward. The Romans got into their tight formation expecting the usual full scale attack. But suddenly, through the infantry lines... came the Roman General! He was trying to get his men to charge onto the bridge as well.
Roman troops and Scythian Dirt farmers met in the center of the bridge...
The Romans were winning untill suddenly! Cpt. Mosijev and his cavelry grope charged in at the enemys rear!
The Romans were cought between the Scythian cavelry and infantry! The Roman General died on the bridge and most Roman units jumped into the river rathern then face the Scythian POW camps and most cirtian doom...
But the day was costly. out of 10,000 Scythian infantry to go in... only 266 came out... and only 120 cavelry...
But only 300 Romans lived to fight another battle...
The battle forced the house of Julii to re-think its position... and within 6 years, it asked for a cease fire...
and after another 10, it would be defeted in the Roman Civil War...
Scythia would move on to become the bigst Superpower in Europe... its huge population and overly large armys made it imposible for other factions to cope...
But a new enemy is arising to the south... the Superpower of the East, Parthia, is becomeing hungry for new lands... Russian Lands...
