The Ballad of Bradicles
Turn 4 - Time is fleeting
Macedonians face off against Carthaginians. 
The Hypaspists plow into the javelin men. 
The severely depleted Numidians fall back into the palm grove. 
The Carthaginian heavy infantry return the favor and force back the Pezhetairoi in the center grove. 
The pikemen wheel about and engage the Carthaginians. 
The Numidian javelin men are send fleeing and the Hypaspists reform to face demoralized Carthaginian heavy infantry. It was all a blur of blood, sweat and death as units flung themselves into the fight. Mediocrates could be heard bellowing orders, Bradicles saw the pikemen wheel and slam into the Carthaginian formation, victorious but exhausted. The slingers seemed to be keeping the Numidians at bay. The Hypaspists had dispatched the javelin men in his flank and unnerved the Carthaginian infantry. Now they were wheeling to face them next.
“Yes, yes! Just a few minutes more.”
