An epic struggle between my Romans and @Rico's Goths. After a fair bit of manoeuvring on my part to position my legionaries on favourable ground, first contact was made with a massive Cav fight on the right. The aftermath you can see in the image below with the dead horses on the top right. Whilst losses were heavy on both sides, Rico's cav have achieved the upper hand.
On the left I've managed to keep Rico's smaller cavalry contingent in check so far.
In the centre, my legionaries formed up on the slope looking across the valley at the warband on the hill opposite. Then we advanced. The initial fight did not go well, it was an uphill battle which proved unfavourable. One of my main legions routed quickly and the other mediocre legionaries and auxiliaries followed suit. Most of the warbands then followed the retreating Romans back into the valley and up the slope where I had initially formed up, but have the warbands over stretched themselves? As they approach the slope my reserve auxilliaries and archers are waiting for them in the rough ground.
It's pretty even....and great fun!
