Great Battles of Alexander - Akragas Beginning of Turn 2 (Tyrant)


The Greek Phalanx advances on the left. Dionysus' cavalry sweeps in from the right and hunts for Carthaginian skirmishers. On the left the Greek light cavalry rides down to pin the Carthaginian cavalry. In the middle the Carthaginian shock troops are set and ready.


And after 4 turns the Greeks have basically been obliterated. Maneuver and ranged weapons out flank the Phalanx over and over here. I would like to try again with different Greek tactics, but the medium and light troops are hard to take out en mass.
