Does any one starve the enemy???

[Andy1984]

I besieged the large town south of Memphis (forgot it's name). Apart from a 100+ bodyguard cavalry, they did have several klerouchoi phalangitai, a unit of Galatians and the dreaded thorakitai. I moved my phalanxes towards their gates once they sallied, where they horribly *****ed up a fight that should have been easy... My phezetairoi got decimated, my klerouchoi routed, half of my beloved podromoi died in the mess,... If the Ptolemeans hadn't decided to rout, I would have found myself entering the city to fight phalangitai with missile units, chariots, and some depleted troops that couldn't be trusted to do any more than rout.
