This battle of our romano-syrian campaign sees Hannibal leading a seleucid navy against rhodians allied with Rome
Rhodians deploy in a line with the admiral slightly advanced as Livy says
With 0 historical data the seleucid player has free deployment, placing two blocks of quinquerremes and a center of monoremes
The rhodians advance in wedge going for the weak center
The rhodians begin to ram, and sink all the 4 monoremes
With the center gone, the seleucid player advances the flanks
Some fires are caused by the catapults
The heavies clash
Two of the seleucid quinqueremes swing round to protect the left flank
A ramming just causes one damage
A monoreme manages to strip one damage
The two rhodian triremes ram and sink an enemy five
The rhodian flagship is set on fire by the seleucid
A king's galley manages to sink a rhodian striking at her side
The rhodian admiral repulses a boarding from the far superior deceres
The sleucid flagship is then inefectivelly rammed
Revenge! the galley that rammed and sank a rhodian five is sent to the bottom by her comrades
The rhodians strike the oars furiosly, and keep sinking fives with precise side hits
A trireme rams the side of a bigger prey and inflicts one damage
The other three sinks engulfed by flames however
Some ineffectual ramming by a burning five
The monoremes keep striking at a five and cause one damage
A seleucid rams, but the rhodians skill is such that they just suffer one damage
In the rhodian left the sleucids have lost most of the front line and are being outflanked
The right is much more caothic with battlelines all but broken
Hannibal keeps persecuting the rhodian admiral causing some damage
A rhodian five strikes at an exposed flank, sinking her opponent
Another seleucid is sandwitched by two enemies and destroyed
Things look good for the rhodian right, with most enemies sent to the bottom
The rhodian flagship is swamped by enemies and sunk
With his center destroyed and his left all but so, the seleucid player concedes victory to the rhodians.
Quelle belle bataille! Superbes navires...
