    I wondered that too! It was a 3vs3. The first Hunnic soldier gets killed by the ballista, then the rivals go forward. A Hellene soldier gets killed by a bow while loading his Gastraphetes, the other Hellene one runs somewhere out of the screen. The other Hunnic one gets killed by the Xyston charge, then Alexander and Atilla start fighting and we all know the end.

    Indeed this was quite a crappy episode...

    That's probably uncalled for.

    But its just a crossbow with a funny name.
    Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

    always remember to lead the charge with an xbow .. and make sure you stop and reload in the open , with another soldier looking at you and holding a bow.

    Wise advice mountaingoat.
    Also: Make sure that you fall to the ground without getting hit by the enemie's arrow.
