I just fought a battle today as averni vs a superior force of Aduei (they have 2 units of gaestae!!!!!! I had... massalian hoplites who were freshly merc'ed up)
fought entirely in the forest till their last unit broke (where i pushed the rout, and slaughtered a bunch) i could see nothing. This is one of my deathly fears! fighting inside forests i cant see anything and usually it ends in disaster. This time We showed em whose boss! Another heroic victory added to my string of heroic victories this campaign!
here's other heroic victories from the same campaign!
This one was crazy, cause they had infantry and cavalry and a unit of slingers. My unit of swordsmen and the slingers were reinforcements who had to rush up the hill. My general was on his own duking it out till they arrived... tired as hell too. I push my Generals to the max. Some battles only the general or a few men in his unit survive. and I'll still use em to help on the line.
And here's an epic picture (notice the fact that the few spartans left who are surrounded and hoplessly outnumbered are counted as "victory seems certain. Only a fool could lose this battle!" hahhahaha- they died, but not after killing hundreds more) of my Thermoplyae reenactment.
