119 Raphia (217 BC)

** This thread discusses the Content article: 119 Raphia (217 BC) **

6 battles in the fifth round of our boardgame group's CCA tournament: 3 wins for each army.

Seleucid - Ptolemaic (8-3)
Ptolemaic - Seleucid (8-6)
Seleucid - Ptolemaic (8-4)
Seleucid - Ptolemaic (8-3)
Ptolemaic - Seleucid (8-3)
Ptolemaic - Seleucid (8-6)

Two plays, wins for Ptolemy each time but each time narrowly. The high victory banner requirement meant the battle went back and forth quite a bit.

Ptolemy killed by Antiochus's elephants early in the game! Most fighting on the flanks early, then only in the middle at the end. Lack of a leader in the center enabled Ptolemaic defeat.

We found this game to be surprisingly luck-driven despite of the high flag count. Ptolemy does not have his forces in the best positions (elephants next to numerous allied units, Warrior and Cav units unable to easily deploy, etc.) and the Seleucids get to go first.

We played this game four times and got nasty first turn results for Ptolemy all four games. Sometimes Ptolemy was able to recover and sometimes it was a disaster for Ptolemy. Ptolemy only won once in the four games and it was close (8-6 with lots of one-step units on each side).
The other games were:
8-1 (bad luck and bad decisions by Ptolemy)
8-4
8-3
