Never lost so many man in a EB battle, never came so close to the time limit.

I encircled the enemy phalanx on a slope and atack them from every side after I killed their light infantry and WOW. Although my enemy were mainly composed of phalangitai deutheroi It took heavy losses. The Enemy phalanx moved their spears so that they made an impenetratable ring. I Lost every man I used to atack them from the back. 2 Of my 4 Samniti milites units were all killed.
My campanian cavallery atacked wave after wave not even scaring the enemy to shaken and I thought I loose the battle. Only after 15 minuits of fighting and everybody beeing exausted I atacked the enemy again with my cavallery and got everybody except one agyraspidai unit to flee after loosing 60% of my cavallery.
I never fought against an enemy were my troops felt so useless. Yes I hate phalanngitai, expessiacly when fighting with italian troops.
Anyway 360 of my men were healed after the battle so no big deal
Me to,
I used 1 Roman Army with 10 Units ( Approximately 670 men)
against Arche Seleuka (full Unit bar) , KH (Full Unit Bar), And Makedonia (Full Bar)
On Very Hard Mode. I won, at the end, but the costs were high. Never lost so much men before
