hope you liked a synopsis on one of my battles with Roma.

PS: I havesince conquered virtually all of Egypt, the levent, and the anatolian borderlands from the romans. persia's vital cities were also captured, and Ctesiphon, Amida, and many other cities in our hands; the persians are now confined to the plateau, and dare not near the coast.

[julianus heraclius]

Am I right in saying that Publius Attianus changed sides??

[Gen.jamesWolfe]

Am I right in saying that Publius Attianus changed sides??

yep, he defected ocver to the Arab camp!

actually, by that point, I made enopugh money from my campaigns to bribe him

[Julianus Flavius]

His head should hang from the gates to Hierosolyma as a warning to traitors!

[Gen.jamesWolfe]

His head should hang from the gates to Hierosolyma as a warning to traitors!

Actually, there are no more romans in the Holy land to fight us. In fact, when I left the campaign, there were no romans within 1000 miles of the city of Hierosolyma

These are some screens I hastily took of a battle between my Comes Rei Militaris Ilyricum, Julius Terentulus, and a Lazyges army besieging Sirmuim and its garrison of limitanei. He had the Legio Herculani Juniores and the Legio Jovanii Juniores. But knowing that the Lazyges have formidable cavalry he had almost every cavalry ala in the region attached to his army. These troops were 1 ala of Sarmatian lancers, 2 ala of equites Dalmatii, 2 ala of equites sagittarii, and 1 vexillation of equites scutarii.

The battle is joined, ordo in hostem!

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

A gap develops in the barbarian line and the only nearby uncomitted unit is the Herculani Juniores Lanciarii, non dubitant.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

They throw their spears, iacite lanceae!

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The barbarian general moves in to plug the gap, perii ocidii!

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The battle continues, Roman reinforcements arrive from Sirmium to finish off the exhausted and decimated barbarians, victoria est prope.

P.S. The battle was a Pyrrhic victory, as I lost my entire Palatina army, I'll be replaying the battle with the nearby army of comitatenses and with more cavalry and archers to see if that works better. If that battle works out well I might just post those screens!

[Gen.jamesWolfe]

good photographs!

[persianfan247]

yeah, though i wasn't aware they had cameras back then, bring on them screens dam it!!!!

Here's a few pics from a custom battle: a Roman force of light exculcatores on a long march into the desert is surprised by a raiding war band of nomads and forced to defend itself.

The aim in this custom battle was to field a force of light troops in open order using skirmish tactics to see how effective they would be against a regular spear band with some javelin troops.

The Roman limitanei legio consisted of 10 units of exculcatores, 2 units funditores, 3 units of equites armaturae and the remaining units of sagittarii.

Facing them were 16 units of nomad spearmen and 4 units of javelin raiders.

The Romans remained mainly on open order and in skirmish mode except for the middle line of some 5 exculcatores with a legio Praefectus as a backbone.

This had the advantage of being a fluid battle with the Roman units ebbing and advancing against the barbarian spear men. Many times the Romans routed only to rally and plunge back into the melee. Eventually, this broke the spear men as the combined volleys of arrows, slingstones and verutii wore them down . . .

[PSEUDO ROMANUS]

Damm, SBH! Your pics always have so much background and planning that is always a pleasure to check them out.

[SeniorBatavianHorse]

Thank you, Pseudo-Romanus! Fancy an online replay at some point?!

[PSEUDO ROMANUS]

Tempting offer and I'm always willing to go for it. Hopefully my schedule will be generous and work with me this time. We'll see.

[SeniorBatavianHorse]

Look forward to it!

[julianus heraclius]
