Column 7 of 8 on the campaign map: The Last Stand, 51 BC
51 BC. Duratius, Rome's loyal friend among the Pictones, holds Lemonum against a great rebel army. Dumnacus of the Andes attacks him to punish his loyalty to Caesar. If your cohorts cannot hold these walls, our last allies in Gaul will be slaughtered.
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.
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.
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 Spear:arrows thin a spear line before it reaches you.
vs Cavalry:a pike wall breaks horsemen.
