Game 1
MichalK (Numidian) 4 banners
Mark McG (Romans) 6 banners
early game was all about the Elephants, and once the initial attempt to shield them was unsuccessful, they advanced up to attack range. Fortunately I had Double Time in hand, and my Med & Heavy infantry could reach out and touch them, which they didn't like. Suddenly I was two banners up, and the main threat was gone.
Less fortunate was the Roman right, which bore the brunt of the Numidian cavalry, and I mishandled this flank to let Michal back into the running. I probably should have gone after Jugurtha immediately rather than letting it fester, but I was concerned about being trapped between his cavalry and infantry. My alternative was to push on on the Roman left, and ultimately this won the match, but the cost of 4 banners might have been too high.
