The Lesser Camp at Gergovia

Column 6 of 8 on the campaign map: The Great Revolt, 52 BC

From the legate


52 BC. Caesar marched off to deal with the Aedui's betrayal, leaving Fabius behind with only two legions. Sensing our weakness, Vercingetorix throws everything he has against our thin lines. If your cohorts lose this lesser camp at Gergovia, Fabius and his men will be annihilated.

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.

Ground
Roman fort
Region
The Great Revolt
Year
52 BC
  • 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.

You will face

  • Warband
    Infantry
  • Arverni Noble Cavalry
    Cavalry
  • Noble Swordsmen
    Infantry
  • Skirmishers
    Ranged
  • Torchbearers
    Infantry
  • Gaesatae
    Infantry
  • Druid
    Support

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.

Units that shine here

  • Legionaries

    vs Infantry:stand even with Gallic foot; take the high ground.

    vs Ranged:swords run down slingers and skirmishers.

  • Spearmen

    vs Cavalry:a pike wall breaks horsemen.
