Hello everyone! I thought I would post a thread asking people not "Who was the greatest general of Antiquity" let's be honest there have been lots of them and they usually end up with people dividing themelves into a Hannibal, Caesar, Scipio, Pyrrhus or Alexander camp with one or two people shouting Viriathus. No, instead I want to ask people "If you could fight one of the great generals from antiquity, who would it be?". Feel free to add as much detail as you wish. Maybe you would like to fight Scipio Africanus as Zama and see if you could improve on Hannibal's plan? Perhaps you would choose a fictional battle and ambush Caesar as he crossed the Rhine. You could even fight a general with troops he wouldn't normally have encountered, perhaps you could undo Tigranes the Great with some naked Britons (no jokes about what you are undoing, please). The only condition is this, your army must be composed of contemporary troops to the army and general you are facing, no fighting Alexander with a post-Marian army and certainly NO strafing Caesar's legions with a Spitfire.
