Another Shower of Javlins from the Legionaires and the Brits break and run leaving more than half of there number dead. The Second wave pours in and meet a shower of javlins. This time the british warriors are Elite Chosen Swordsmen and lose few to the javlins. The Legionaires, starting to shake a bit on the formation prepare to recieve the charge. Chosen Swordsmen smash into the Legionaires, Intense hand to hand combat breaks out. A third wave charcges through the gate,smashing into the rear of the Chosen Swordsmen. The Legionaires pull back,fighting in the dirt streets,Sheilding it all the way. The Chosen Swordsmen break and run,the Third wave finnaly meets the Roman Line. Barbarian Peasents,a cheap way to pick off the enemy. But the Barbarians are no match for the Legionaires;They break and run. During a break in the fighting,the Britons gather there forces and form up within the gate. The Roman Legion reforms there line, preparing for the coming charge. The Legionaires number about 80/85 men. They Fall back from the streets to the Hill,forming there. The Town Watch a few Yards behind in the plaza.101 Swordsmen(not chosen) charge forward,turning towards the hill and rushing up. The Legionaires held there ground,sending the swordsmen running back to there Warlord. The Roman Legion,now exausted,prepared for the next assault. The British Warlord sent more Barbarion Peasents,150 strong. The Garrison Commander,seeing a defeat,rushed the Town Watch to the front to fight along side the exausted and badly outnumbered Legionaires. With the Barbarian Peasents marching slowly up the hill, thinking its a sure victory(even with the addition of the Watchmen). half way up the hill the Barbarians stop to close ranks. Shockingly, Every last Roman Soldier Charged forward smashing into the Barbarian line,causeing them to break and flee,Charging down the hill turning down the street,then down another street into the remaing british soldiers. Buildings all around the fighting started burning(dont know how,didnt know that british archers had flaming arrows). The Garrison Commander,17 legionaires and 25 Town Watchmen were all that was left,fighting to the death. The Battle Ended with all the Roman Soldiers laying dead in the main street. British losses where very high,out of 2030 Warriors deployed,964 lay dead(the most falling from the javilins and the surprise charge).The Main part of the city where the britons attacked was burned.
This Story has a bit more drama in it to make it more interesting. I played this with my buddy over LAN.The Number of Soldiers is exact. I just changed the unit strength in the prefrences file.
