New Punic Wars scenario - TJD - 01-28-2011 I designed this in Punic Wars even though the time frame puts it in the range of Gallic Wars -- the reason being, to take advantage of the Iberian counter mix. From the scenario description: The first battle in the epic military career of Quintus Sertorius in Spain. After landing in Spain with a small force of Roman infantry and Mauretanian cavalry, Sertorius moved toward Lusitania to assume command of the revolt against the rule of the Sullan faction. The Roman governor of Hither Spain, Lucius Fufidius, sought to interdict him near the Baetis River. Plutarch states that Sertorius had already merged fully with Lusitanian forces by the time battle was joined, but some modern historians are less certain. This scenario supposes that a junction happens during the course of the battle. The size and composition of the Sertorian army is given by Plutarch, but the army of Fufidius, though known to be larger, is mainly conjectural. Note the presence of Lusitanian reinforcements on the left edge of the map. Romans, 11k+, Sertorians, 10k+. Romans are first side.
