Ambush of the Bellovaci

Column 7 of 8 on the campaign map: The Last Stand, 51 BC

From the legate


51 BC. Correus leads the Bellovaci, the proudest and most dangerous warriors of the Belgae. They refuse to submit and lay ambushes for our scattered foragers in these woods. If your cohorts lose this forest village, our supply lines will collapse under their attacks.

The briefing as the game gives it, before the battle.

The battlefield

Every new campaign generates this battlefield from its own seed: the same map for every retry, a new one for the next campaign.

  • 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.
