That was entertaining, to say the least.

I had a full stack of Triarii, and the other one was composed of Roman Archers, 2 units of Equites, no general....

I had the Marian Reforms, but I hadn't had time to refresh all of my armies.

i had 6 units..i was teh greeks in RTR 5.4..
Italy, south of Rome.
i had 3 hoplites, 1 greek-cav and 1 cretan archers..out of teh blue 10 units show up, i win at a high-ground..cretans rocked..
second go, another win..heavy cretan losses...heavy cav losses..seems Romans had terrifyingly good cav
third time wasn't a charm...wiht only hoplites..the defeat was inevitable..still the best units i ever spent..

I often have several battles in a row when I´m besieging cities and my opponent has units in close vincinity. They attack over and over again, with the side effect that they weaken the city defense, because the defense forces join the battle every time my siege army is attacked. I don´t mind - I don´t much like doing city battles, better to bury them outside the walls.

My first campaign as the Julii. When I triggered the civil war, Brutii had about 25 stacks in southern Italy.
I was able to prevent movement by blocking a pass with 2 stacks, so you could only attack with 2 stacks at a time, but he had most stacks within attacking range. After 4 manual battles I was fed up (lost a 10 star general thanks to the AI in the 3:rd) and auto-calculated one more victory and on the 6:th battle I lost. He had 18 stacks within attacking range that turn so it was 9 possible battles, atleast.

As the Julii, I won three big battles in a row south of Osca against the Spanish. My army was basically the same one I took when I left Italy (equites, velites, hastati), but supplied with Spanish, Barbarian and Balearic mercenaries to make up for casualties. It is wasn't a full stack, but they were battle hardened. The Spanish armies were larger than mine and had about the same make-up (round shields, scutari/fantatics/Iberians plus a few mercenaries and skirmishers), though less experienced.

I beat the first two armies while defending (the A.I. marched them against me one by one instead of teaming up like it should have done) and then advanced to destroy the third. All three battles were heroic victories for me and I gained two "famous battle markers". Perhaps I would have gained three if the first two hadn't been fought in the same place.

I don't consider this a testament to my skill, but to the sloppy A.I. that does not concentrate its armies, does not lead them by family members and seems to hesitate during the frontal assault.

I broke the back of Spanish resistance in the six or so battles around Osca. Within two decades, my small and undersupported army controlled all the major production centres on the peninsula, including Gaulish Numantia.

I once had 4 wins in a row against hte scipii during the civil war, I was playing the julii , back in the time when I was still playing vanilla RTW.
Anyway, I had a good al round army with basicly a bit of everytihng in it.

I sent the army from Sicily to assault Carthage, so I did , the next turn 4 full stacks attacked my one full stack ( all their stacks were captain led , mine too IIRC )
So I managed to win my first 2 battles easily, minor losses.
Then the 3rd battles was going to be easy- so I thought, but it became a chaotic battle instead - which I won but with far more losses than I wanted, by the time the forth and weakest stack entered the battle field my army was almost destroyed by the previous stack , and especialy depleted by the 3rd stack...
Only with a little luck ( enemy general died early ) did I manage to win that 4th battle, needless to say my assault on Carthage had to wait a bit , since the Scipii had some more full stacks roaming the Area, and my now battered army needed fresh supplies and some retraining.
