Rome v. Celts

I didn't have a chance to preapare anything tonight, but we quickly knocked up a scenario of Romans v. Celts.
Romans: Chris & Jim.  Celts: Mike & Mark.

Pics from behind Romans right.
Initially the Romans advanced on their whole front. 

On the right, the Romans slowed their advance faced with Celts on ridges supported by archers in the wood.  They held their cavalry back out of bow range & closed up to javelin range with their infantry.
On the left the Celts are counterattacking.

On the right, the Celtic infantry have charged off their ridge.
On the far left, Celtic chariots have broken thru the Roman cavalry. 

On the right, the Romans have got the upper hand, but have still lost half their infantry. 
On the left, the Celtic chariots have got into the Roman infantry's rear. The Roman second line turend to face, but squeezed between foot & chariots they soon broke.
The Roman losses were now well over half while the Celts had lost less, so what was left of their army on their right flank withdrew.
