well, i never said i would give my phalanxes away, did i? ;) On VH/M my deuteroi hold against pedites extraordinarii, and on VH/H only a bit shorter... As always, properly deployed, with overwhelming cavalry superiority. And you have elephants, the ultimate routers. I played with Epeiros on VH/H for quite a while, but the exams made me pause, and in the meantime i discovered the wonders of pahlava. Now, i will go back to the good old Pyrrhos. And i use the tactics of family picnics on the battlefield, works like a charm combined with the elephants and phalangitai.
