I'd almost killed the half-stack of Greeks that had decided to beseige Massalia, with only about 10 of the enemy general's bodyguard left to finish off with 4 units of Neitos, pinned in a corner with no escape.

I gradually picked them off one by one, until only the general was left. At this point things got a little silly. He must have been knocked down at least 50 times, and I'm not exagerating. After watching him get back up again for 2 minutes only to be knocked back down I decided to speed things up. Even at the quickest speed it still took another 2 minutes to kill him. If that's 6x speed, then that works out to almost a quarter of an hour that a single guy with a spear and a shield held off a couple of hundred fully armoured swordsmen!

And that's not all. Every time he got knocked down, my guys figured that the fight was over and started walking back to the town square. Suddenly the general would jump up and stick 1 in the back, before his buddy's put him back down again. Then they'd turn around and another would get a spear in the back! He must have taken out about 20 of my guys this way.

OK, so bring on the "turn your back" or "back to the wall" puns...
