Has anyone of you ever tried facing Cataphracts with Pantodapoi Ph.. using the Phalanx to "halt" the charge and then countercharge with there axes? I was thinking of trying this, but most of the time I could only use mass eastern axemen to kill Catas..



Whoops... corrected. Thanks Aemilius Paulus!
you did not read my previous message, did you?

yes you can rout AI catas with them , even I managed to rout grivpandar with them after first charge abandon phalanx and hold position and charge with axes.
