Battle of the Sabis

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

From the legate

57 BC. We were still digging the camp when Boduognatus and the Nervii burst from the woods. The Atrebates and Viromandui charge with them across the Sabis, straight at our unready men. If your cohorts cannot hold this ford, the legions will die before their works are done.
