Pointless playing Romani?

[Connacht]

I have a legion up there well versed in defensive warfare to keep the Krauts at bay of Mediolanium (again, thanks hills). Why do they all hate me so...

Perhaps because they want revenge for the 2006 World Cup.

I'd use a large flexible wrapping army against them, completely surrounding their troops, with one or two cavalry groups engaging those who manage to flee. ;)

I may play defensively, but I never could play with house rules, which is why I could never play the Romans for very long.

yup, with my slingers obliterating their range units beforehand while they plow up hill. When their main force hit my line, my triari and cavalry contain the flankers, then my 2-3 units of PE go around and engulf them. The rout usually follows and of course my cavalry goes medieval on their ass (pun intended).

The Maks have been getting tougher as they field more and more quality troops. Makes for very entertaining battles. One of those next to Thermon felt like a Classical version of Gettysburg with I defending little round top
