MEG Maximus

 

Hi All

 

Had another Great MEG Maximus Battle today

Syracusan vs Imperial Roma

I had 7 Tugs of Hoplites, 2 Tugs of Gallic foot, 1 Tug of Greek Cavalry and a Numidian Ally wth 1 Tug of Nobles and 2 Sugs of skilled jav

My opponent had 4 Tugs of Superior Legion, 2 Tugs of Average Legion, 2 Tugs of Auxilia and an Armenia ally with 2 Tugs of Charging lancers and a Sug of bow horse.

The battle field had secured flank (water) and a hill (with grass) in the middle.
I was out scouted and deployed first.
I opted to send the Numidian on a flank march.

I put my all my foot a bit back as to make the Roman attack me. While the flank march as well as the Greek cavalry were all on my right flank. 

My enemy put his superior foot on my left, his Auxiliary and some average foot on the hill in the middle and finally some foot (2 Tugs one average one superior) along with the Armenian on my right.

We started off with the Roman moving his foot forward while the Armenian got ready for the flank that was to come.

I moved only some foot on my right and the Greek cavalry

Round 2 and the Romans continued moving forwards, I only moved in the right again.

Round 3 the RED card came and I informed my opponent that the flank was on my right (the left had the water xaxaxa).

Round 4 and the flank started entering, I had managed to move my Greek cavalry up as well and had 2 Tugs of Hoplites in the area. In the left and center my foot started falling back as to make the Romans follow.

Round 5 and charges started. I charged with my Cavalry and a Sug of Numidian’s against my enemies Sug. Armenia lancers charged the Numidian Nobles. A Roman Tug charged 2 Tugs of Hoplites.

In the Melee the enemy Sug was destroyed taking with it my Greek cavalry.

Round 6 I managed to charge a Tug of Romans from the front and from the side. The Romans on the left and center continued to move up while I continued to fall back. Some shooting and some Melee resulted in me losing a Tug of Hoplites and my enemy losing a Tug of Lancers and a Tug of Romans.

Round 7 saw the last charges I charged the romans that were fighting Hoplites since round 5 from the flan. The Armenian lancers charged some Sugs (and contacted one) while the Numidian Nobles charged the Lancers from the flank. The hole roman battle line charged my foot.

A good friend pointed out that the light horse should have fleed but the enemy camp is right behind them (we moved it as it was in the way)

In the melee the followed both the Roman foot and the Armenian lancers were destroyed.

My opponents army had broken (thank the gods as my foot would have not lasted vs the superior Romans)

Hi All

Yesterday I had two very nice game of MEG Pacto
Second Game

My Syracusans vs Later Republican Romans

My list was comprised of 7 Tugs of Hoplites, 3 Tugs of Gallic, 1 Tug of Greek Cavalry and an Ally Numidian (1 Tug,2 Sugs)

My opponent had exceptional Legion, Superior Legions, Average Legions and 2 Tugs of Roman Cavalry

In the Second game I was out scouted.

I put all of my cavalry on my left flank, the Hoplites in the center way back, the Gallic foot was on the right .

My opponent put his 2 cavalry one per side and the foot in a line opposite to my foot .

I was attacker and moved up with my horse at full speed (double move) while the Hoplites did not move and the Galic foot moved up. My opponent move his foot forward and his horse came to protect the foot.

In round 2 My cavalry on the left came in contact with the Roman cavalry while some roman foot came to help, on the left the Gallic foot was charged by the roman cavalry.

The Roman foot kept moving up but was still away.

Round 3 I won the battle on the left only to be blocked by foot, on the right the Romans were very strong.   

In round 4 The two foot lines came into contact while I charged the foot that was blocking me on the left.

At this point I had lost 4 Tugs and my opponent 3 tugs and we had to stop (not enough time).   

We had a chat and it was obvious why the Romans lost the battle.

In this battle the Roman commander played much better. He kept the cavalry close to his foot so the foot could support them.

I am sure I would have lost if we had continued.

Hi All

Yesterday I had two very nice game of MEG Pacto
First Game

My Syracusans vs Later Republican Romans

My list was comprised of 7 Tugs of Hoplites, 3 Tugs of Gallic, 1 Tug of Greek Cavalry and an Ally Numidian (1 Tug,2 Sugs)

My opponent had exceptional Legion, Superior Legions, Average Legions and 2 Tugs of Roman Cavalry

In the first game I was out scouted.

I put all of my cavalry on my right flank, the Hoplites and Gallic foot were far back in the center .

My opponent put his 2 cavalry vs my horse and the foot in a line opposite to my foot .

I was attacker and moved up with my horse at full speed (double move) while the rest of my army did not move. My opponent move his foot forward and his horse came to counter my horse.

In round 2 The Roman horse charged my horse and lost one Tug from the skilled jav of my light horse, the other Tug was in contact with my sup Numidian cavalry Tug.

The Roman foot kept moving up but was still away. 

Round 3 I took care of the enemy horse and started moving my horse to be ready for flank charges.   

In round 4 The two foot lines came in contact while my horse started charging the flank of my enemy.

After the melee the enemy force broke after losing 5 Tugs, I had lost 3 Tugs.   

We had a chat and it was obvious why the Romans lost the battle.

The Syracusan (Numidian) Horse which was Skilled jav (2 Sugs), Sup (1 Tug) and average (1 Tug) had devastated the 2 Tugs of average Roman horse, further more the enemy foot did not turn to help the cavalry and was flanked.
