Off to a good start, the Carthaginians out scouted the Sassanids!
The Numidians immediately rout one unit of Sassanid light cavalry
with a few well aimed javelins.
Turn 1.
The impetuous Gauls fail to make an impression!
They must have been too busy laughing that the skirmishers had decide to stand against them,
and failed to swing their swords as they should have.
The Gauls are actually repulsed!
Clearly the enemy skirmishers must have used some harsh taunts.
Clearly the enemy skirmishers must have used some harsh taunts.
At least the Numidians are earning their pay.
Turn 2.
The Gauls are given some Iron Discipline and told to charge again.
The Sassanid elephants are being attrited away.
Turn 3.
The Gauls are in a bad way,
but the Sassanids are not looking so good.
Turn 4.
The Numidians win the battle!
The Gauls are saved (but down to their last man).
The new Spanish have earned their red badge of courage.
Turn 5.
Both the Gauls and Spanish suffered losses when throwing sixes for Cohesion Tests. This was at a time when the Sassanids were throwing low, but I can't complain as the better die rolls were nearly all with the Carthaginians.
