Hi Narukami,
Re Parthia, I've been very tempted to refight Carrhae with C&C, but for all its strengths, I'm not convinced that the rules models light horse very well. In C&C when foot charge light horse they often inflict heavy casualties, even when the latter evade; sometimes heavier casualties than the horse can inflict by shooting.
I've considered how this might be addressed and have in mind a fairly simple fix that would sort it. I would also want to introduce a system to model the fatigue/water deprivation that played a major part in the destruction of Crassus' army, and Curio's army in North Africa.
