Column 5 of 8 on the campaign map: The Ardennes, 54–53 BC
54-53 BC. This is the very camp Sabinus and Cotta foolishly left when they trusted the traitor Ambiorix. Fifteen of our cohorts died in that ambush, and now Romans hold these walls again. If your cohorts let this camp fall twice, the disgrace will shatter Rome's power in Gaul.
The briefing as the game gives it, before the battle.
Every new campaign generates this battlefield from its own seed: the same map for every retry, a new one for the next campaign.
A Roman fort under siege. You hold a timber fort with its tents inside. The Gauls must break a gate to get in, and only a few climbers scale the walls; your squads pass their own gates and fight from the wall walk. A siege brings more waves than a village.
They come out of the mist in waves. How many depends on the squads you send, how far your campaign has come and its difficulty.
vs Infantry:stand even with Gallic foot; take the high ground.
vs Ranged:swords run down slingers and skirmishers.
vs Cavalry:a pike wall breaks horsemen.
Winter Camp at Atuatuca is one of 25 battles in Legio: Gallic Frontier. Free to start: the first three battles are free.
