It's the beginning of 190 and Hero has been attacked by the forces under siege in the city of Pantikapaion. The enemy numbers are just over 2x our numbers but their ranks are filled with levy's, men pressed into service not one year ago.

At the onset of the battle the horse archers from Thrace that have been recruited from Chersonesos begin dueling with the light cavalry of the Epirote forces and the two sides heavy cavalry dive straight into fighting one another.
The cavalry arm of our army proved far superior to what the epirotes fielded as the enemy light cavalry fled the field

and the enemy general retired to the back of the battlefield, to attempt to command his levy's
It became quickly apparent that this was indeed a disorderly mob and
not and army as the levy units and some medium infantry proceeded to come in broken waves as though led by an idiot. Wave after wave 1500 lightly armed and armoured troops engaged the hardened soldiers of IV Corps.

after minimal engagement time the enemy realized the trained soldiers of the KH were cutting through their lines like butter and they began to rout.

not a very exciting battle as it was a true slaughter
