Alexander Imperial versus Classical Indian

My mix of new and old Hellenistic troops were no match for Dave's Indians.

The Imperialists won the scouting and had the advantage in deployment

Both sides advance

The Imperialists close in,
their heavy cavalry leading the charge
(which unfortunately caught some defensive fire)

The big fight

And as seen from the Classicals' side

And the pathetic die rolling:
only one hit per side!

Locked in combat

The Imperialists' general (in personal command of the heavy cavalry) is routed.

The Classicals are starting to envelope the Imperialists 

Game over.
Understandably I failed to take a final photo of my defeat.
In the above image, which is a copy of the penultimate,
the red crosses denote units routed.  
Both pike blocks lost their back ranks.
They did take down some of the elephants at least.

    1. Thanks Carlo. I didn't mind (well not much) losing to Dave's classic army.
