Classical Indians versus Late Imperial Eastern Romans

A friendly game against John's Romans.  It took a while for the Indians to get their act together and evict the invaders.

The Romans out scouted the Indians and deployed on a hill with a wood on the right flank.

The Roman cavalry advances, as do the Indians who try some shooting as well.

Everyone starts advancing now.  The Indians can still not hit their target, 
but the Romans land a devastating volley on the Indian light cavalry.

Getting close now and the Indians finally land some shots but of limited effect.

But they had been saving themselves for the Roman heavy cavalry that has just been obliterated
after it made a desperate charge to avoid missile fire and was then pursed by elephants. 

The Roman light cavalry is not proving very effective.
Indian archers have repulsed one legion,
but the other is making headway against the Indian foot.

The Indian general is slowly returning to the fray.
(It's hard work turning those elephants around)

With half their army destroyed the Roman morale collapses.
