sassanids infantery

[Garvanko]

You don't care about their losses? They're darn expensive.

On saps. Sure, build as many as you like, but 2 or 3 is easily enough, and given the zone you're allowed to deploy in, one of them is usually well placed. I don't spend too much time sapping multiple sections, though. Just pick a spot, break it, then move in quickly with the Heavy Cav and Infantry.

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Here's a better idea. Ignore any other armies and make a bee-line for the city. Then when one of the other armies attacks your besiegers and the garrison sally you can kill both in the field, removing any need for an assault. Remember, Master Tzu says assaults are the greatest waste of men and your last alterative.

I got toally massacred like that once... he had a full stack in the city AND came with 2 armies in my back.

being in a sandwich between 3 full armies is no fun being the sassanids, the infantry hardly can hold their line, so your archers route quickly... then only your cavalry can do something... but against 3 armies, especially heavy infantry.. they have a hard time..

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Charge, rinse, repeat.

I can rip up a whole army like that using Sarmation Auxillia, with horse-acher support its deadly. You have to use manuver warfare and never let yourself get bogged down. You also have to be practive and ATTACK.

wigferth Ironwall.... dont you have that when you charge a unit, then withdraw your horses for another charge always a few (to many i think) horseman are killed?
They seem to be extremely vulnarable in the back (logical of course)

Not with Kats or Cibs, you need to rotate, so just before one pulls back another hits your target, use them in pairs.
