After 35 years as a good ally, Sweboz decided to back stab me by attacking Mediolanum.

I made the Sweboz pay for it....

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

I had a FM, 2 principes (one only having +- 70 men) and a group of Triarii

The AI had some Chatti club, Germanic Club, Hera....(Germanic Swordsman), Fujot, Ridonez and a FM

This thread makes me wish i took screenshots of my defence of Baktra. PURPLE RAIN attacked me with 3 full stacks and my field army was away in india. I had 2 phalanx, and 4 generals. Thats all I needed. with only 2 routes to the city square, I placed 1 phalanx on the North street and the other on East street. Most of them came through the north street, which was good because that phalanx had 2 silver chevs, and my other one only had 2 bronze ones. We held for a good 40minutes when they started pushing through so I charged my King into the fray, then they hit the east phalanx, so I sent my most experienced General (who was only there the get new weapons and armour and then was going back to the field army) into the East street and he chewed through them like butter with 3 silver chevs. When he broke through that contingent he had a gold chevron, so i took him and the 2 other generals and swooped round and started killing the buggers who were along the inside of the palisade. Pushed into the North street and cut the palhav to peices.

I lost about 20% of my men, mostly cavalry, killed all 5000 or so of them.

Wausser, may I ask how exactly you won such a victory? I know Germanic infantry suck but still...

Germanic infantry "suck"? Hell they are tough to kill!

**Wausser** · 12-17-2008, 17:29

Well they only had one set of ladders and one tower, I could slay his units easily, and above all sweboz lost a lot of men to my towers

Current KH-Campaign, Battle near Ambrakia

The Epirotes had 4 or 5 units of Elite Phalangitai and many other phalanx units, supported by Illyrian Coast Levies and Spearmen. After a short but bloody fight at the right flank, i could beat them back there and attack the rear of their phalanx. This decided the battle. The cavallery was only used to hunt down routing enemies.
