Carthaginians versus Nikephorian Byzantine

In his first game using Impetus, Drew took my Byzantines into the field against my Carthaginians.

 Deployment.
There is difficult terrain on the right 
and a large patch of swamp covered in noxious yellow weed creating an impassable area on the left.

The Byzantines hold their position, 
but send their light cavalry to meet the Numidians.
The Carthaginians advance behind their skirmishers.

The two armies are still positioning for advantage.

The light cavalry are now engaged in a long drawn out struggle 
(meaning many turns of both sides rolling no hits).
The Carthaginian skirmish screen is starting to fray.

Real close now...

A very successful cavalry charge by the Byzantines has smashed the Carthaginian left.
The Byzantine light cavalry have also ultimately been successful.

However the Carthaginian infantry in the centre is trying hard against the Byzantine foot.

But the Byzantine foot prevail.
The Carthaginian army morale is broken.
