Good point. Good point. Tyre, and half of Iran/Afghanistan he was bogged down in attrition warfare.

Anyway, I have to eat my words. I'm playing a Romani game, just unified Italy (except for Milan) and all of a sudden, a Celtic revolt is besieging Bononia with FIVE GAESETAE UNITS, plus cavalry units, and he's trapped a pretty good general with less than half a cohort (2 hastati, and a bunch of worthless Rorari garrison troops). My consul is rushing in with the rest of the cohort, and one more backup cohort to relieve them. Haven't fought the battle yet, but I figure I'll win with severe losses, because Gaesetae suck to fight against.

So yeah, I'm eating my words, guys. With ranch dressing.
