In this ancient battle the forces of the republic under consul Atilius Vulsco face the nefarious epeirote invaders commanded by that sellsword, Pyrrus
Pyrrus leds his elite companions
While Atilius commands a roman legion
The romans move against the enemy left
Companions and tarentines move forward
Equites clash against light italians
Routing them from the field
The Legions move ponderously forwards
An ill concieved move spreads confusion through the ranks
While the companions charge
And are pushed back
Another charge of the cavalry kills some romans
Some cretan archers are run down
The combat against the companions become a slow grind, with the epeirotes having the upper hand
The left equites destroy a second unit of peltasts
The tarentine cavalry is caught between the equites and a legion and destroyed
However a legion is also routed by Pyrros
Two legions led by Vulsco charge the phalanx. destroying one half
The unstoppable companions smash the depleted equites, these guys are tough as nails!
Fruitless roman attempts to destroy the cavaliers
The romans have a slight edge and with a final impetus, Atilius Vulsco rallies his men and destroys the last phalangites, winning thus the game
Boy, was it close...
