Time Commanders

[Didz]

Getting back to the original topic, did you see this evening's TC? It was Cannae. Police officers were the contestants, and out of all the teams so far they seemed to have the best command structure and the best performance on the field. Having disabled the Roman cavalry more or less exactly as Hannibal did, they then unfortunately decided to try to just hold a line against the numerically superior Roman infantry, and got creamed. Still not a bad performance by comparison with some of the others though.

Yes, I watched it while I did my ironing (The joys of living alone).

To be honest it was difficult to see how they could have held off those Romans within the limitations of the RTW battle engine. Its alright for Nusbacher to talk about forming a box but trying to give ground slowly in RTW is almost impossible.

I thought their best option would have been to throw their cavalry into the Romans flanks and rear but there was no mention of them after their victories on the flanks.
