Bellendus has landed on the coast of Cyprus, at an enemy city. He smells loot. Near a sacred spring he commandeers a goatherd's hut, and the prettiest goat. The ships are only lightly garrisoned. Next morning the enemy attack.
The field of Ares. Bellendus ships have landed and his men are raiding. |
A light garrison holds the ships. |
Bellendus the Strategos emerges from a goatherd's hut, whistling a happy tune. |
The lines are drawn up. |
Bellendus has the better quality troops, but he is outnumbered. |
My light Cavalry go forward and are absolute rubbish. |
And my Strategos is isolated as the battle begins on the left. |
The Greek cavalry are absolute shite. |
The enemy cavalry on the other hand prove very effective. |
The spear push. Its brutal. |
My drilled hoplites run away |
But finally my Strategos gets into the fight. |
More running away. |
Only the Strategos unit left alive. Somehow he survives the discipline rolls. |
But not the fight. Bellendus is down. My Elite Hoplites flee. |
Bellendus is captured. He is ransomed back to his city. I`m surprised they want him. |
Great game with some hard fighting and although my whole army was swept away very enjoyable.
