| Shield Wall with Moving
Flanks Mediolanium, where there is well enough money to get one really good defense... In those cities I use this innocent little tactic (Mediolanium may be to easy for this, but I took it for an example anyway...) Now, do this, if you have dinarii for it of course. Now when the enemy
reaches my front, consisting of Legionnaires, my Javelin
Throwers also starts throwing... Now this is when my
element of surprise comes in... my cavalries move up
beside the enemy and past them, where I reorder them, and
make them go to a full scale attack, the little
frightened enemies have nowhere to go now, and they get
slaughtered... I've actually survived 5 attacks within
one year, where each and there were over 60 in every
attacking army... I don't know what you think about that,
but I think 240 enemies in one year is pretty good...
Comments For enemy infantry armies,
I post javelin units in front, Heavy legions behind, and
have the javelin troops fire and retreat in alternate
ranks as the enemy approaches, until finally they are
withdrawn behind heavy troops as the enemy closes and
continue firing while the enemy attacks the heavy
legions. If I have cavalry, I use them to attack the rear
of enemy troops are are FULLY engaged against my
infantry. |
