Your Place on the map and the field it's self count's for alot. Last night (playing EB mod), Playing Rome, fought Pontus with them coming out of the woods, but I placed my 2 horse archers and 4 skrimisher cav. on my right flank. To my center I put Celtic merc's, Samite Hvy. Inf, & some light inf whose name I can't remember with my General behind. On my left flank, Princeps, & Samite Hvy. Inf.. I charged with my Right flank pining the pontic skrimishers and let some of the pontic center to move in, a little on my right. At that point crashed my center into the pontic center and right with my left covering my center. By the end of the battle I surrounded the Pontic Army and cut it to pieces. Lost on 200 men and they lost 1000+, but what helped was using a steep hill and had 600 more men then them.
