Ancients: Seleucis v. Antigonis

Seleucids: SteveJ & Chris
Antigonids: Jim & Mark
28mm figs M2M house rules.

Antigonids on near side.
Blind deployment on map with only restriction being phalanxes must straddle the centreline.

Seleucis started with a slow general advance.  Antigonis advanced his right.
Antigonis' attack on the right ran into a shower of hot dice.  His medium cavalry shattered against Peltasts while half his Galatians were stopped by elephants.
Seeing his right was struggling Antigonis attacked on his left. 
Antigonis' counterattack had only mixed success.  On the left end of the line some of his heavy cavalry broke on contact.  Petasts somehow held the line against Companions as his veteran phalanx got on top of half of Seleucis' phalanx. 
On the other flank half the Galacians were broken by elepants & the rest being pinned by half of Seleucis' phalanx tas the elphants wheeled onto their flank.
Antigonis' phalanx is his only winner as Seleucid cavary wraps around his left flank & elepahnts around his right flank.  His army fails army morale & breaks.
