Playing a Brutii game (1.5, no mod, vh/m)
Got a chance to do something I ALWAYS enjoy. An Eggy force of experienced 1st and 2nd tier troops with 1 Pharoah bow is laying siege to Sardis -- last holding of the Selkies.
I send over my own full-stack, so its one for each of us. I attack and -- because I have a ballista with me -- get to attack immediately. So, now if "we" win, I get the burg as I'm the one who triggered an assult.
On the far side, the valiant Eggies are met at the gate and breaches by the hoplites and generals of the Selkie force. My gate is slowly knocked open -- I'm in no rush -- and my force moves forward under heavy a heavy cretan umbrella.
Ends up with 240 so routed Eggies surviving out of 1150ish, whereas my nearly 1200 suffer only 250 casualties or so -- about a 3rd of whom heal.
Nasty? Yes. But oh so fun.....
