To the Strongest

Played To The Strongest with Rod, doing Pharsalus.  We were learning the rules, so we played on the simple level.  We each managed to outflank on our right, but Rod lost one of his generals early on to machine gun firing Cretan archers, and this really slowed down what he could do.  Eventually my flank attack worked, and Rod conceded.

My Cretan archers coming foward to shoot at the opposing Numidian Light Cavalry with a Heroic General.  I dur a ton of 9 and 10 value cards to kill the cavalry and the general!

 

The battle as it starts to unfold

Battle is joined.  Caesar (me) has elite legions.  Pompey (Rod) has double ranked recruit legions.

The move mechanic is by card draws.  If you can draw a card higher than the last one you played on a unit, you can move again.

Pompey has success -- his right flank beat a legion.  Only to have the Cretans draw lucky cards again, and destroy the victorious legion!

My flank attack just couldnt break through!

But when it did the raw legionaries were rolled up quickly.
