Just had a funny moment in RTW. It was a FFA 2 CPU players 3 human CPU was on a team so we humans we gangbanged the CPU player and then we fought each other. Well one army was all cal other was a mix of phalanx and I was heavy legion with cav/archer support.

So what happened was I had to take on the phalanx heavy army didn't hurt me too bad still hurt though. So i'm busy working on this guy kill him and then after I kill him I notice this big blue blop on the map and go O he is far away it won't be a issue to form up.

Then he began his charge and I went "opps thats not infantry" so after sustaining medicore losses I had all of about 3 mins to form my entire line up for a full on cal blast. Needles to say my biggest cocnern was first getting my main line up Which I did SECONDS before he hit. In fact my archers only got 2 volleys of fire off (which IMHO did jack **** for damage) and then he hit my infantry dead center. My most upgraded unit lasted all of about 5 seconds. However I rushed frontal in with my general 3 cav and one infantry to hold him there as my other infantry went to the flanks.

This really hurt him in fact in chat he was like "Wow, I didn't expect that" I replied "nor did I"

He still won but he sustained 3/4 causatively taking me on. Had I not so heavily been involved in the first two skirishmes my legions would of had pilas AKA destorying his first few units of horses, and i'd of had more infantry and better formation. However he miscalucated his move focused all his troops on one group and I just slammed the **** outta him.

In the end I took about 75% ofhis army out, he left with about 15% left. I think it was well played on my part.
