Ancients at Black Hills: Rome v. Ponic Kingdom

 Mithradates on the near side lines up again against his old foes., the Romans.

Mithradets made a general advance, charging with his infnatry in the centre.  The Romans attacked with their light cavalry on their right, advanced to meet the enemy infantry in the centre & held their heavy cavalry back on their left.

On the left, the Pontic light horse are being driven back by the better Roman allied light horse.
Lefit of centre the front cohort was getting the worst of it & has fallen back from the Pontic phalanx.

Right of centre, the  Pontic allied Warband was dispatched quickly by Romans throwing hot dice.

On the right the Pontic heavy cavalry tried to break the weaker enemy force.  Their second line was supposed to cover the left flank of the lead unit, but failed command leaving the cavalry flanked by the Roman foot.

The pontic cavary was broken by the flank attack.  The phalanx broke one cohort, but the Roman had plenty more of them.  The Pontic army has failed its army morale test.
