Hello!
I'm new here, but would like to share my biggest battle(s)
the largest battle I had wasn't too big: ~800 seleukids vs ~2500 romani (unit scall normal- plus I usually remeber/ record the deaths more) ended 15 min. later in a heroic victory with almost all the romani dead (96%),with the faction leader and faction hier of the romsni dead, while I lost (still remember vividly- not lying) an unbelievably low 17 dead and three dozen wounded (too bad the pics were lost for evidence- least the written records are here), but it was fought near Taras, c.200BC. The trick was that it was basically a giant ambush that hit the romans in the rear, and left, between a hill and the coast. commander:Ho basileus seleukeias (king of the seleukids)., I played the battle on the very day EB full version was released, and was the last pre-EB1 battle fought.
breakdown:
1-Basileus ( chev. gold)
2-2 units of hellenikoi kataphractoi (all understrength, with 2-3 silver chev.)
3-7 pezhetaroi and argyraspides (argyraspides at 1/2 stregth, rest 40-55men per unit, between 3 bronze and 1 gold, average at two silver)
4-2 toxotai ( 3 bronze chevrons)
5-2 peltastai (ditto)
6-1 prodromoi (1 silver)
