I always used to think warbands weren't worth ****, since i was always playing as Julii and routing warband after warband all the time. But since i've started up a gaulic campaign i've practically kicked the ass of anyone who has opposed me with warbands (of course with some help from skirmishers and barbarian calvary )

Recently when i was attacked by a pretty big stack of Julii (alot of hastai, some town watch and 3 roman generals) i fought them in a forest and i decided to go right at the romans and charge at them with warcry on, and i absolutely decimated them. Not one infantryman made it off the field alive

My general strategy is to have my skirmisher warbands attack the enemy lines while my warband gets close enough to do a warcry and charge with the warcry effect lasting as long as possible, this usually causes the enemy to rout

im also looking into trying to use Naked fanatics on my flanks but in my tests, a warcry effected fanatic cant take down a british warband

Anyone else care to share with me their Gaulic/British battle strategies? (note: germanic strats as well i guess, though they don't really interest me for some reason)
