Default How could I be so stupid?

Today I fought a 2.2+ battle solo. Early imperial Romans versus Ancient British. I commanded the Romans. I was utterly defeated!

What made me send my Legionaires (Blades) against the Celtic warband who were on a steep hill, whilst my Auxilary cohorts marched about being harresed by chariots and British light horse (who had already put pay to my Roman cavalry!

I think I need to re-read the rules

That is an exciting, classic match up.

But, the great thing about being utterly defeated in a solo games is ... yep, you get to utterly defeat yourself.

You needed the grand old Duke of York in charge of your legionaries.

I wouldn't be too upset if I were you. I've heard this Cromwell bloke you played is pretty good, so its no shame to lose to him.

Thanks! I feel better now! At the time I was horrified I made such a mistake

Don't be too upset.Even the Romans had their fair share of unlucky commanders. Just right your army off as the unlucky ninth caught in inclement weather.
