MEG Pacto

Hi All

Another game today of MEG Pacto (Solo rules from Simon)

On the one side the Syracusan Greeks vs the Camilan Romans

The Greeks had 7 Tugs of Hoplites, 2 Tugs of Italians, 1 Tug of Spaniards, 1 Tug of cavalry superior, 1 Tug of cavalry average, 1Sug of light horse.

The Romans had 7 Tugs of heavy foot, 1Tug of Italians, 2 Tugs of average cavalry, 1 Tug of Pedites.

After PBS the terrain was set and the Romans barely out scouted the Syracusans.  

The Romans wanted to stall the opponent with their horse until the Pedites and Heavy foot destroyed the opponent foot. The Syracusan wanted to press on all fronts as they had more foot and more cavalry (better as well). The Spaniards would play a very important role in the plan.

After the first round of movement it was obvious that the Roman horse would have to fight.

The first contact came in round two and it was all over the place. The Pedites and Italians of the Romans charged first on the Italians of the Syracusans (the Romans had uphill advantage).

The Syracusan foot charged the Romans and had the Spaniards in the center of the line.

The cavalry of both sides clashed.

The Pedites take the advantage 

The charging Hoplites received some hits from the javelin of the Romans but nothing to bad and in the fighting afterwards the outcome was a draw.

The Pedites managed to make some progress on the hill.

But the Roman cavalry had taken serious damage.

The Roman cav takes hits

The third round saw one hoplite tug hit the side of the Romans while the Roman cavalry broke.

The hoplites hide the Roman side 

In the fourth round the Pedites broke the Italians in front of them and were ready to hit the side of the other Italians. In the Midle the fighting was grinding but the Syracusan cavalry was set up to charge the flank of the Romans next round.

The Cavalry hit the Roman flank

Round five saw the Pedites hit the side of the Italians, the Syracusan cavalry hit the flank of the Romans (and break them taking two more Tugs in the break test) and two units of Hoplites breaking.

The Pedites destroy the Italians

At that point the battle was 3 Tugs lost for the Syracusan and 6 Tugs lost for the Romans.

The Pedites hit the side

The Romans seeing the cavalry of the Syracusans would just keep on flank charging ordered an orderly retreat.
