Romans
Romans vs. Macedonians
The Romans / Macedonians battle has been fought 3 times over the years with the Macedonian getting massacred. The Macedonian phalanx, though a fearsome fighting unit, seems to always become enveloped and destroyed too easily. Halfway through this battle, Dragon & Chris finally worked out the riddle of manuvering the mighty phalanx, but the battle was too far gone to stop the roman victory. Dragon is now raring for a rematch someday and is convinced that the Macedonians have a chance to win.
