422 Immae (272 AD)

Similar to history, the Romans eliminated the Palmyrene left flank while maintaing center. The cataphract cavalry came into play, but too late to salvage victory for the Palmyrene force.

2 solitaire games, with the Romans winning both, 6 - 4, and 6 - 5.

2 more solitaire games with each side winning one. In the first, Palmrene won 6 - 2, with two of the cataphracts just destroying the Romans in the center. In the rematch, the Romans had better luck against them, winning 6 - 3.

The Romans concentrated on eliminating the Palmyrene cataphracts and auxilia infantry, at which point the rest of the battle became a mopping-up operation. However, in the process the Roman medium cavalry was largely destroyed, which together with the loss of a Roman general, made the victory closer than it should have been at 6-5.

In the return match, a completely duff Palmyrene hand allowed the Romans to disrupt the enemy line, and the fifth card played was a Roman cavalry charge which eliminated 6 Palmyrene units for a 6-1 victory. There wasn't much they could have done to prevent this.

Zenobia leader should be added to Auxilia on Palmyrene left hill.
