While it is vaguely satisfying to get a victory because you are in the hills and just have a few elite units that screen the rest, I love the big ones, particularly where you crunch Romans!
Romans are nearly impossible to beat unit for unit, but when you get more boys on the field with more cavalry and archers, you get
Skirmishers are cool because they fight twice, once with missiles and again in support
Of course you need a good phalanx to hold the front. Spartans are a bit of overkill, but overkill means you just fight one battle
And the extra cavalry on the wings run rampant in the rear areas
Marian Legions are even more frightening; never fight them with green troops! Send your boys on Inward Bound first
But the bigger they come
The harder they fall
John Michael Young would have loved this game!
