i got an ambush off once by pure luck. i was germans and had conquered all the land from germany to the italian peninsula. i had the peninsula in a choke hold i had all the bordering settlements a few forts and roving armies. well some julii units try to move north by mere chance they pass and army of mine which by mere chance had stopped in a forest and was ready to ambush. it was a unit of 3 julii early legion cohorts, i had 6 units of warband and one cavalry. well when i saw the area in which i could position troops i was delighted. almost all around well it wasnt much of a battle (obviosly) i quickly killed um and it was ...uh...cool.
