Column 3 of 8 on the campaign map: Belgica and the Alps, 57 BC
57 BC. Servius Galba brought one legion into this Alpine valley to open the pass for Roman traders. Now the Seduni and Veragri pour down the slopes to destroy our lonely winter camp. If your cohorts fail to hold these walls, the whole legion will be buried in this valley.
The briefing as the game gives it, before the battle.
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 Spear:arrows thin a spear line before it reaches you.
Galba at Octodurus is one of 25 battles in Legio: Gallic Frontier. Free to start: the first three battles are free.
