It took me all day to defeat the Carthaginians..but here is what I did.<br>
<br>
I pulled all of my forces very close to the river and waited (also to be out of range of their Archers). The AI then moved all its forces to meet in the center (timed script?) moved left and repositioned. I thought it would be nice to position in the high ground that the Carthiginians started out so I moved my forces there and positioned facing them. They repositioned where the we as the Romans were positioned when the battle began, but there was no trouble of ambush as they had collected their forces. I then began to march my whole army to meet them head on. When the elephants stomped into the fray, I set my units into loose formation, and sent my equites to do what it could to the elephants. The elephants got scared off, and I pulled two Triarii from the back to flank their Sacred Band Calvary fighting my Principes and Hastatus. They collapsed and I chased the routed the with my Equites. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p200.ezboard.com/bromanarmytalk.showUserPublicProfile?gid=valmar215@romanarmytalk>Valmar215</A> at: 8/25/04 10:39 am<br></i>
