War with the Belgae

Column 3 of 8 on the campaign map: Belgica and the Alps, 57 BC

From the legate


57 BC. The Belgae are called the bravest of the Gauls, and they march to prove it. They storm Bibrax on the Axona to crush the Remi, our loyal allies. If you lose this village in the hills, the Belgae will slaughter our friends and turn on Rome.

  • An enemy camp. A Gallic camp hides in the woods at the edge of the field and is found mid-battle. Until it burns it sends raiders at the houses and its own wave; its veteran guards never leave it. The battle is won only once it has burned.
