So it would be nice if anyone could give me tips to use the galic armies.
One of my specialties - make some of your line infantry visible for the enemy, but not the guys on the flanks. The enemy will come charging your visible line from the flank, but if you kept hidden men outside you can turn tables on the attacker and get his flanking troops outflanked. Make sure to use much experience for the swordsmen in the middle of the line so they can pin stuff. Against phalanxes chosen swordsmen are sweet pinners as they can pin maybe 3 or so units while your other troops go around the flanks. Gauls are however, even if you use this method, incredibly hard in mp. In a battle yesterday with 30000 denarii I picked parthia and routed an entire gallic army in less than half a minute
