Division D
MikeMarchant - Roman 105-25 BC beat uneducated (Jewish 163-111 BC) - 64/24
A whirlwhind of a scrap where the result really doesn't do uneducated justice.
It was a steady tromping advance by the legionaries in the centre until contact on a broad clear hill. The opening rounds looked bad for the Romans as the Jewish Zealots cut their way through a legioanry unit against the odds and the Roman right flank started to look under threat. On the left flank, the Romans accidentally advaned a cavalry force behind a hill, unseen by the enemy, and swept into the Jewish flank just in time. The pike units on the Roamn flank held out bravely but evetually crumbled at the flanking cavalry, supported by infantry, wrapped round. The Roman right fell to the Zealots and Jewsih cavalry but by then it was too late. On the final turn there was an almost complete collapse of the Jewish army and their general was captured and sent off into exile in a jelly bean grove on Crete, for a sweet retirment.
Great game, undeducated, a pleasure to play with you.
Best Wishes
