And I don't mean Gallic Cavalry against German Cavalry during Caesar's conquest, or the battles of the TCA - as they were most likely a mixture of different tribal groupings.
If you read most of this you would see that I have said multiple times the Romans were superior to the Germans. You seem to mistake my intent and your following in the foot steps of others who claim I'm a Roman apologist and now a Germanophile. I think the Celtic units in EB are overpowered especially considering how the elites match up against others. Historically this doesn't match up if you have read the battles. Just because I believe the historical record bears out that the Romans and the Germans were martially superior to the Celts doesn't mean I'm ebullient over them or any of the ancients for that matter.
As for your question of the Germans defeating the Gauls in battle we only have Caesar and a few others to my knowledge. Other then the 10 years of Ariovistus and the TCA there is nothing written that I'm aware of.
With that do you have any battles in which the Gauls defeated the Germans? Is there any information you have in which the Celts pushed back the Germans at any time period?

How were the Aedui weakened? Would you mind putting down your sources and other such information? When I ask for information its not to be obnoxious, its sincere. I see plenty of people talking about this but yet no one has put down a credible source or even where they heard or read about it.
