Various battle pics 

First Game has the Romans vs Pyrrhus

the Romans have 8 Tugs of Hv foot, 2 Tugs of Cav, 1 Tug of superior Flex foot, 1 Tug of loose foot (Italians)

Pyrrhus has 2 Tugs of Pike, 2 Tugs of Poor Pike, 1 Tug of companions, 1 Tug of Cav, 2 Tugs of loose foot (Epirote), 1 Elephant, 2 Tugs of Hoplites, 1 Sug of light cav  

The two foes 

The PBS provided a secured flank (sea) and 2 rough woods as both armies were of heavy nature both commanders wanted an open battlefield.

The Romans won the scouting and Pyrrhus deployed first.

Pyrrhic 

The game started with both commanders discarding cards to make the other move first, it was Pyrrhus who moved his units first and the Romans followed.

Round 1

As both wanted to get in cc with the other it was in round 3 that the charges started.

Pyrrhus was betting on his elephant (in the middle of his line) to make an opening and on his companions in the right. The Romans had planned for the Pedites to make an opening and 8 Tugs of roman legions.

First contact 

for 1 rounds after the charge all was squared off until in Round 4 the elephant, the companions broke the opposing units. The Romans were in trouble and had no reserves available.

First gaps

the next round the elephant turned and charged a Tug from the side (2 red dice in the charge combat) the Roman foot held (barely) and in the melee that followed the Pedites and Italian foot broke both Epirotes in front of them. The elephant and Pike broke the Romans they were fighting and a Roman unit broke a hoplite unit (A blood bath).

The elephants gap 

At this point the Romans had lost 2 Tugs of cav, 4 Tugs of foot and broke.

The Elephant hits the side 

Pyrrhus had lost 2 Tugs of Epirote, 2 Tus of Hoplites

The elephant kips on going 

A very nice game and a Pyrrhic victory as the per the winner.
