Game 2
scipio1zama Slaves 8 (lost 28 blocks) Armada01(Tony) Roman 6 (lost 31 blocks)
Romans moved Lentulus behind the infantry line. Ranged attacks by both Slaves and Romans did little damage until Slaves were able to kill a HWM on the Roman Right. Slaves moved over hills after earlier moving behind them. Roman LI evaded without hits. Romans formed up compelling Slaves to return to the hills. Spartacus and slaved in center and left flank then came off the hills. Roman MC, MI and LI attacked a loan Slave Aux unit and cut it down to 1 block. Spartacus and Warrior infantry advanced against the Roman Cav and Inf.. Warrior attack on MC was met with 1st Strike and cut down the W unit to 2 blocks but then was eliminated. Roman double time enabled 4 MI units to attack Slave Warrior and LDR. The Warrior was eliminated and another MI unit reduced to 1 block. Spartacus then advanced and eliminated 2 Roman MI units. Roman Leader Gellus continued the assault on the Slave left flank and eliminated a W and cut down another W and Aux to 1 block each. Mike then played I Am Spartacus and was able to eliminate another Roman MI. Gellus then moved his 3 units and eliminated to slave units forcing Spartacus to evade. Slaves then eliminated another Roman unit but caused a 2nd to retreat 3 hexes out of harms way. That allowed Lentulus MC to attack and eliminate a slave AUX on the slave Left fank. Spartacus then advanced and eliminating the final Roman he needed to win the battle. A fun game!
As Mike said, Romans have a difficult task in this scenario.
