It is all about using the right battlecry


I just got a Heroic Victory against a Bunch of nudists with a less then good Roman army, there were lots of FM though, so while the rest were crap I used these to circle and kill their commander. Then while pinning naked dudes + spearmen with my crappy and outnumbered Roarii, Leves and Hastati I charged them from behind shouting the infamous battlecry, which I shall not repeat, but which is scary if you are naked with a horse galloping up behind you. Most of them routed on contact despite outnumbering me 2 x 1.
