The Will of the Senate - Battle reports

[x-dANGEr]

Autumn, 262 BC, North east of Corinth


I order my men into formation, and fast they arrange. The men, so confident; for they intimidated the enemy last battle, march uniformly to the incoming army. Just another battle, another bloodshed near the beautiful river..

The 2 armies approach each other. The main enemy army is formed of 3 Hoplitai units and 1 Peltast unit, led by a man in one of the Hoplitai units, the assising army is formed of 1 Hoplitai unit, with it's captain in it. I send my Velitas unit to the right flank, in the rear of the enemy. And advance along with my tribune, and the Italian Cavalry unit, and stand still in the rear of the enemy, too. Bringing them fear, whole masses of fear. The enemy sends 2 Hoplitai units to the Roman mass of infantry, sends another Hoplitai chasing the Velitas unit and one last Hoplitai chasing me, and my companions.



I manouver the Hoplitai unit, and strike down the enemy Peltasts unit, then order my tribune to charge it in the rear, causing it's men to flee in panic. I order the Italian Cavalry unit to chase it, and go along with my tribune to charge one of the Hoplitai units engaged with the infantry in the back, and we do so, causing it to flee, too. So, I chase it along with my tribune. The numbers of the other Hoplitai unit go down fast, considering it is surrounded from each side by brave Romans, and so it flees, as well. Now, the enemy 2 captains charge my infantry. Of course I haven't spotted this, as I was away mobbing up the runners, and after I did, I went back to the scene along with all the cavalry, and managed the army closely.



Now, I wait for the right moment, and then order my tribune and the Italian Cavalry unit to charge the captain on the left, while I charge the one on the right. One second before our charges reached, both the captains died, and their men were dazzled for a second, allowing for an easier job for me, and all the cavalry. At all cost, as soon as the charge hits, all the enemy men rout.



I start chasing those runners along with all the cavalry.. One unit almost had fled, but I managed to catch it at the last moment, before it went out of the horizon.
