British Light Chariots are very good. Insanely good.

BTW I had my worst auto-resolve ever last week...

Setting VH/M

Player (Gauls) 700+ men led by a general ambushing

Computer (British) Lone general with heavy chariot bodyguard

Auto-resolve:

Player defeated, takes 300+ casualties and banner destroyed

Computer 12 casualties, I imagine mostly through splitting their sides laughing...

And as it occurred during Computer's turn... auto-save then saved after the battle. Other save games? Of course not.
