A good thousand years separated my army and Rob's Swiss. How would things go?
The Seleucids found the Swiss deployed behind a difficult area on the left
and a broken patch in the centre.
Best to wait,
but maybe the skirmishers could do some damage?
A slight step forward and attempt to get the chariots moving
after the Cretans successfully shot up the Swiss light horse.
The elephants supported by the Thureopkoroi were unable to hurt the Swiss Halberdiers,
but the chariots proved very spikey and successfully repelled an attack.
The Swiss attacked but bounced off the Seleucids.
But they weren't put off and charged again,
with slightly better results.
The chariots are having a merry time riding around doing nothing.
The Seleucid general with his cataphracts have done well,
but the elephants were forced from the field.
The real fight is between the Seleucid phalanx
and the Swiss general and his halberdiers.
And a fight it was!
Are the chariots in striking range?
Yes, but they did no damage.
However it didn't matter,
the Seleucid phalanx had fought the Swiss to a draw.
