I got feinted in a recent battle as a single Julii army (my reinforcements were delayed, for whatever reason) against two Greek full stacks. The first full stack sent all of its cavalry to my right flank, while the second stack remained far behind. So, I sent out my cavalry to fight the first cavalry.
Well, while the infantry from the second stack was sitting back their, all of their Greek cavalry came in from my left and routed all my triarii and principes that were fighting armored hoplites (who had already routed most of my hastati, which I was using as a buffer anyway).
Terrible loss.
