Played this against a first timer. I gave him the Samnites as it has more Command Cards.

Fierce battles on the left and right wings. Formations were broken, gambles were taken. The Romans eventually won by good dice rolls.

But some tragically lopsided dice rolls left their heavies in worse shape than the Romans. On the Roman's counter, they played a brutal Clash of Shields that rewarded 3 banners in a single final turn to steal the win.
