So my new Illyrian army needed to be blooded so they took there heavy option of 4Aux to raid the Gauls to the north using the Fast 3Wb option with chariots. The Gauls were defending their village with a small wood nearby:
The armies advanced with Gauls thinking of flanking around the woods. The Illyrians learn that command control beyond a wood can be troublesome. The armies close in...
The Gauls have the positional advantage but the Illyrians fight desperately around the woods and survive overwhelming odds. Then a column of Gauls pursue into double overlap and are destroyed followed by the death of the Gallic chieftain. The Illyrians were left masters of the field!
So all in all, the Illyrians did what was written on the pack. They dealt with Warband reasonably comfortably. But knights and heavy infantry are waiting in the wings...
Hope you enjoy!

PS Two more battle planned to showcase some new armies then a break for a while.
