More ADLG practice for Gordon, this time my Early Carthaginian took on his Pergamon army. Gordon deployed right across the table while I went for a more compact position:
No problem with allied generals this time for Gordon, the Pergamon army advances quickly while trying to outflank the Carthaginian right which redeploys to face them:
There are some good things here (warband facing spearmen) and some bad (chariots which are great against warband behind cavalry who are not!):
Infantry lines crash into each other! The Gallic warband gets the better of it's opponents:
Perhaps the chariots will get their chance once the cavalry have been destroyed?
Perhaps not as the chariots are forced to scuttle away:
Fighting rages on with both sides taking losses:
Finally the chariots manage to get into the fight and the Pergamon army is broken:
A close game that was great fun, my chariots drove around aimlessly for ages but finally managed to make a difference at the end. The other notable thing was the abysmal performance of the elite, armoured, very expensive Carthaginian Citizen Spearmen who put up no fight at all!
