As usual, forgot some things.
Germans field some "good" archers
Cohorts work a little better both with attack/def numbers and testudo ability. Must get the german hvy inf to turn for effective attacks into flanks and rear...then they break pretty easy. Any other way, say good-bye to that unit.

Forgive spelling, most of this is off the cuff as far as unit ident goes. Love the game, but MUCH to learn.
