On Wednesday afternoon Craig came over to my place and we played a 200 point Sassanids versus Late Romans L’Art de la Guerre (ADLG) game. Craig commanded the Late Romans and was the attacker, while I commanded the Sassanids and was the defender. This was our first game of the New Year and proved to be quite a fun, close tussle. The Late Roman cavalry on the left flank charged and the combat there was prolonged and level pegging. 

The Sassanid cavalry on the opposite flank also charged and were able eventually, to rout most of the Late Roman cavalry. In the centre the Sassanid infantry and elephants charged and destroyed two units of legionaries while losing an elephant unit. In the end the Late Romans routed on the loss of 21 cohesion points, while the Sassanids were not far behind on 17, breaking on 20. Shooting doesn’t win games in ADLG and the four units of Sassanid cataphracts proved to be the most effective troops.
