Jack took the Gallic Horde & was the attacker. I took the Polybian Romans. The table had a tricky river running down one flank & some hills on the other. DA Roman Plan, hold the bottleneck between the river & hills. Sneakily I placed some units on the other side of the River. Lo & behold, Jack placed his Cavalry on that side of the board..... How would it go?

In a last ditch bid, Chieftain Virdumarus tries to help out, but succeeds in being stranded.

Nice one, victory for the Roman meat grinder. Though splitting up the Gauls made it very easy, plus having your General float around didn't help! UP next, Syracuse versus the Carthaginians...
