EB Online Tournement Battle Report Thread

So, Qarthadastim lost again.
And again cavalry guys were to blame - my cavarly for ridiculous error, and opponent cavalry for destruction ballet in my lines.
This time, Aulus Caecina Severus gave a lesson with his Romani Polybian.

But actually it did not mattered so much what foot army he brought, it was just important that his decimated elite cavalry was enough to secure victory, since my cavalry was lost.
Edit - I just realised it was Polybian units (not Camillan), ok this makes me feel a bit better.
Of course, his win is fully deserved - he did good job by outmanouvering my cavalry to create himself this tactical advantage.
But this is just another reason to complain about elite cavalry being overpowered in EB.

The critical moment came when his elite cavalry Equites Extraodrinarii started to escape for life from my trap and my 2 iberian cavalry units pursued. Untill that moment things were going well.
So my cavalry went too far in that pursue and soon they found themsleves trapped and for good. They quickly broke and were lost for the battle.

The situation didn't seem so tragic yet, Aulus was left with merely 25 cavalrymen. But again I could learn, that you can attack that cav with up to 3 spearmen units and it will be not enough to destroy them or rout.
