Battle of Sambre Part 2

Here/s the rest of the battle.






Roman turn 5 starts with attacks in the center and right with minimal success.  The Gaul's on their turn pulled back in the center and attacked on the left again with minimal results.





Roman turn 6 the cavalry attacks the Gaul left flank and spend themselves on the Gaul's in the wood then the legion attacks and is able to shatter two units but the morale for the Gaul's is good.




The Gaul's in their turn try desperation attacks in the center and the left with minimal results.  The picture at the bottom is the positions at the end of turn 6.





The Gaul left flank is destroyed the attack by the legion shattered 3 units and morale caused two more to flee while the center was ineffective in their attack and the right was just holding their ground due to losses.



Desperation time again for the Gaul's the left flank attacks and again causes a hit and the center falls back to try and hold the rear for the left flank.





Turn 8 was maneuvering for the Roman with a attack on the left with no effect and the Gaul's attacked the center rear with slight success.






Turn 9 the end is near the Roman's attack the left rear and shatter the remaining forces but the morale of the Gaul's holds and on their turn they get some revenge attacking the Roman right and are able to shatter a legion unit.



The final turn.  The Roman's attack and shatter the left rear and with bad Gaul morale the rest of the army flees the field giving the Roman's a resounding victory.

I had a great time with this and am now working on painting the rest of the Roman's that I have so I can fight some Roman Civil War actions.   Can't wait for Magister Militum to increase this range I really want to do the Carthaginians wars.
