Anyway, here are some pics of the battle. Took about two hours including a break for lunch and LOTS of gibber-jabber. All in all about 8 total bounds (?) and probably less than an hour of game play.
The armies deploy. Romans closest to camera.
The Romans prepare their defense on the hill.
The Seleucids prepare their advance.
The Seleucid Galatians and Aux. rush the rough
ground ahead threatening the Roman camp; The
main line advances on the hill.
The Seleucid shock troops assault the legionaries!
However,the Cataphracts are recoiled and the
Scythed Chariot destroyed! Only the relentless
elephant pushes back the heavy infantry of the
legion.
 |
The Romans committed there General to help the lone skirmishers hold back the flank attack. However, after two combats, the General was killed; followed in the next bound by his skirmishers! |
The Romans (red) were rolling horrible throughout the battle!
With the elephant continuing to push back the Roman center,
the Roman General dead, and the flank open, the Seleucid
General commits to the fray supporting the now engaged
legionaries and pikes on the hill.
The Romans situation looks grim!
A look from the Roman camp.
The Seleucid General commits to the assault!
The elephants breaking through!
The battle ended with the Romans losing 5 elements
(the General counts as two). The only loss for the Seleucids was
their scythed chariot (to be expected, so counted as NO LOST
elements).
All an all, DBA 3.0 is a far better version of the rules!
Great fun!!!
