The ancient Chinese have had their first outing, and quite bloody it was (armour doesn't give any protection against 2HCW).

The heavy cavalry on both sides are at it here. The Ch'in (in blue) misjudged things and got flank charged, which was to cost them the battle in the long run.

On the other hand, the Han left flank was largely undefended, and the Ch'in and their Xiong-Nu allies gave me major trouble here. I did have a force to defend the position, but it got wrong footed early on (those routing LC were meant to slow things down a bit).

A couple of dragon's-eye views of the centre.

The Ch'in picked men went through my crossbows like a dose of salts. Fortunately my chariots were guzzling their foot like dim sum on the other side.

The main infantry engagement in the centre, and the Han guards capturing the pagoda (not fortified this time). The Ch'in unit taken in flank broke at the same time as the crossbowmen being thumped by the elite swordsmen.
