Command & Colours Ancients: Battle of Pharsalus 48BC

I managed to setup a game of C&C Ancients using my combo Expansion 2 & 3 box set. This is a scenario from the Roman Civil Wars and portrays the classic showdown between Caesar and Pompey.
 
The Pompeian army was superior in numbers with lots of cavalry but lacked the quality of Caesar's crack legions. The combination of the Julius Caesar rule and the Julian legion created a potent fighting force.

Inititially the Pompeian cavalry assaulted the Caesarian flank but this met stiff resistance and the attacks were largely repulsed.
The Caesarian forces then went on to eliminate the seven units required for victory in fairly short order so it wasn't a long game. This proved fortunate as the cat soon got in on the act.


And into the box!
