I had bad omens again this time. Trajan himself joined in the second round of sacrifice, sword in hand, and the priests decided they'd better get better results this time. With actively good omens, we got off to a slightly better start in this battle. The Moorish light horse proved useful in skirmishing some of the cataphracts to a standstill.

The Alans failed to break the senior Parthian unit (even though a unit of auxiliaries took them in flank too), but at least killed their king. But in the centre, where Lee was too excited to take pictures, our rolls were dismal, and I lost three engagements where I'd set everything up in my favour.
The emperor got off the field alive, but the Parthians have now beaten late republic and early imperial Romans.

Trainspotting is looking even more enjoyable then?

Perhaps I could purchase your Parthians from you, and you could look for another army that might be able to beat Lee. Although you must be running out of options  :)

Perhaps you should play the Parthians, If you win you can claim it's the rules making them invincible, thus nullifying your defeats - but if you lose, your only option will be self flagellation.

Either way it rings of desperation.

OH look A train! ;D

Do you really think I would spend all my free time on here if I had any? :)
