Yeah... it was 2 vs 1 with 40K on both sides. Just let this be a lesson to you, Ekdromoi suck.

Then again, they are supposed to kill peltasts, I was just glad that 1 of my 2 units was able to hold your flanking units for a while.

Also, in EB I really get the feeling that Hoplites are underpowered, maybe doing something with them for this tourney would be better. Like the 0.2 density? Right now, either with or without guard mode they get beaten 1 on 1, front or non front.

Victory to Greeks.

We (Greeks) formed semi-circle formation in the centre of our deployment area, Romans deployed in two groups.

Roman cavalry moved to our left, we moved our cav, elephants and chariots to intercept.
Roman infantry followed suit soon afterwards, and I moved my right wing phalanx to a right angle with tsi's phalanx, which in turn rotated to line up with mine.

Meanwhile a cav/ele/chariot battle had erupted. Our phalanx line, now advancing, was ignored until it was within attack range, and the inevitable clash of pikes and scuta occurred soon afterwards. The Roman flanks were defeated with cavalry and elephants, and the rest of the line devolved into a rout during and afterwards.

Technically no one told us straight up that they were using elephants. Still a fun battle none the less.

While I'd still like to wait for a few more players to answer my PM and confirm their participation... I'll probably assign opponent by Sunday night (probably early morning, even... GMT).

Afterwards you'll have a week to set up the first battle with your opponent.

I just hope I get confirmation soon from the other members.
