Back when I was young and stupid, and rome was new and shiny, I played. I was happy, you know, for picking the Brutii. And I was kicking some serious rebel butt. I was very confident in frontal cavalry charges. Well, I came up against the macedonians, and, being a stupid, I charged my favourite general (who was my heir, and an 8 star general) right into a phalanx, assured in victory. Well, he died. All of his men died, as well. A battle that should have been (adn would be nnow) easily won was lost to stupidity.
