Well, it has been announced, but the Battle of the Sambre is definitely another battle to be done.

After all, the Belgae are the bravest of the Gaulish people.

Ooh! please do one on Pompey's wars in Iberia if you could find one.

I did a quick look around to see what I could find. It has been a while since I did any reading on Pompey, but it seems as though his performance in Iberia was really sub par. If anything, Sertorius was the real strategical genius, but his being betrayed by his allies created the opportunity for Pompey to show off his managerial abilities once the rebellion was pacified.

There doesn't seem to be much to work with, but I'll keep an eye out for the future if something comes up.

The battle of the sambre is another one. The battle of the sambre was made by Nervii and it wasn't for much or the Romans lost. However they didn't, thanks to legio X and IX (if my memory serves me well). In the end the nervii were crushed. The numbers in De Bello Gallico are heavily exagerated tough. Many of the surviving Nervii later joined Ambiorix in his attack. He ambushed 1.5 legion on the march to a near by camp. After a few unsuccesfull attacks on the roman camp, Ambiorix sued for peace. He also made the roman generals believe that a large german army was on the way. So he told them that they'd better leave to another camp. No germans were comming tough, the romans however got their a ttack as Ambiorix ambushed him in a valley and completly anhilated them. (Except for a small part of the army who could flee back to the camp and suicided later that night.)

Anyway the battle of bibracte will do just fine too!

Ok then how 'bout a battle between the Romans and the Brithons?

[Krusader]

I'd like to see battle of Metaurus. Battle that saved Rome really and one of the very few instances where two Roman consuls actually cooperated.

Although that should perhaps wait till after next version due to some unit additions.

For Gaul maybe you could do Bibracte or Alesia. I would also definently like to see the battle of Carrhae with EB units, I was not satasfied with the Vanilla version. (Actually, all of the vanilla historical battes were pretty lame)
