Well Tonights contestants were possibly the luckiest people ever.
They lost the skirmish badly, cavalry wiped out and then infantry sandwiched between phalanx and macedonian cavalry.
They were charging up the hill in the main battle with their cavalry and then at the top they just stopped and got slaughtered by the archers. On the other side they had cavalry about to charge unformed phalanxes and destroy the macedonian left, but suddenly stopped and were taken out by javlins and macedonian cavalry.
The battle turned into a real meat grinder with about 4 units of roman infantry in a clump charging the macedonians. The only reason they were saved was because they had a unit of elephants charge right along the macedonian line (by accident I think, they didn't plan to use them).
Craig the general didn't have a clue and just shouted all these incomprehensabe orders, the female general just watched the show. The 2 captains were alright but really needed bettter and clearer directions and after a while ignored Craig and therefore they won
