Re: An EB game.
Pyrrhus was hardly surprised to hear that all but one of the council were so totalled on wine that they had missed the meeting of the council! Pyrrhus decided that the best course of action would be to reclaim the lands lost in the west, after an inspirational speech by one of his fellow Greeks. However, because of the unique situation in Macedonia he thought that it would be reasonable to seize Macedonia in a swift attck, with Pella secured he would strike a powerful blow against his Antigonid rivals and then shift his attention to Greater Greece!
And so, with the blessing of the Gods and his faithful troops at his back, Pyrrhus unleashed his vaunted forces upon the walls of Pella!
The city lay before them, ripe for the taking!
Elephants smashed the pathetic gates of Pella and then Pyrrhus ordered his fearsome Celtic troops to storm the city!
In the fierce fighting that followed, the Macedonian, Alkyoneus was slain in battle, a noble death as his soul was sent to Hades!
After his death, all that remained to do was to march on the city centre and claim victory for the Epirus, and another glorious victory for Pyrrhus!
With this victory, the Epirote people can seek to avenge their failures against both the Romans, and then the wretched Carthaginians!
