    I'm not a great attacker but here is one tactic i use: If the enemy is on a hill, and ur on the bottom, I just send one unit close to him. Mean while I send my main to go on his flank, then once he takes the bait and attacks the one unit, my main goes in the back of him and kills him. and if all else fails, i just go full out on the enemy commander.
    I am giving my two weeks notice, but I am too weak.

    GJ:

    I was not attacking you in any way. You've made some interesting comments and a request for tactical ideas. Fair enough.

    I WAS ridiculing Tamerial's comment about winning being the "only" thing. I view such obvious "gaming" as counter-productive to actually enjoying the game. Basing your defense on a glowing red non-existent line that serves as an absolute barrier....

    THank you seamus, ok I was playing a battle against the gauls last night I had 6 units of Hastati, 5 princepes 2 velites 3 archers 1 general unit and a unit of equites, I deployed as:
    GAULS DEPLOYED IN ONE LINE WITH CAV ON THE LEFT.
    GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

    _______ _______
    ^^ ^^ 2 velites
    Cav = = = = = = = = = =
    6 units of Hastati
    ==========
    2 princepes
    AAAA AAAA AAAA
    3 Units of archers (fire arrows)

    Although you cannot see it down the whole left hand side is thick forest, gauls deployed with a full stack of chosen swordsmen and 2 cav units approx 2500 men. as you can see the gauls deployed half in woods so i feared for the princepes units hidden in the trees being very mindfull that the chosen swordsmen have bonus in woods as well as being out numbered. So i decided to move my reserves of princepes and velites over to the left here I decided to actually mix my velites in the ranks of princpes i figured that they would throw their javelin at the same time of the pricpes pilum and it worked excellent routed 3 units of chosen swordsmen with out even engaging in hand to hand, this also drew the gauls ouf of the forest allowing me to move my 3 princeps into the rear of the engaged swordsmen the archers rained down fire killing hundreds and i then used my cav to move through the gap left between the hastasti princepes and slammed then into the rear of the left flank of gauls causing a total rout of all gauls troops, my now 2 fresh units of princepes on the left wich routed the chosen swordsmen i rushed straight acorss the battle field in a 3 rank deep wide line to chase down stragglers I lost roughly 650 mostly hastati and the gauls lost appox 1900 men. I dont have any screen shots which sucks and I had a number of heroic victories in the same turn Must have taken a good 10000 gauls to the grave it was great but this was the most tactfull fight the rest was sheer will and iron discipline.
