Later Seleucid versus The Tudors

Time for my Seleucids to face Mark B's terrible Tudors.

Seleucids won the scouting and found the Tudors between a lake and some broken ground.

The Seleucids plod forward pushing their skirmishers to hopefully draw the enemy fire.

The Cretans certainly did and got blasted away for their troubles.
The Tudor skirmishers got stuck into the Asiatic archers.

The scythed chariots got blown away,
and it took the elephants and the imitation legionnaires
to get rid of the Tudor skirmishers.
The Tudor longbow started to rain arrows down on the Seleucid infantry.

The Seleucid infantry closed with the Tudor longbow and came off worse for wear.
The Tudor infantry charged but just couldn't make contact.

That gave the Seleucids time to reorder before the Tudor onslaught and decisively beat them off!
As their infantry started to fall apart, the Tudor knights started to advance.
The Seleucid cataphracts suffered severely from the enemy bombards.

The Seleucid general and his cataphracts might have routed,
but his army prevailed!
