The force forms with heavy cavalry on one wing, skirmishers forward, and infantry massed for the main contact. The skirmishers draw the enemy centre and hold its attention while infantry and cavalry close from different directions. Once the formation breaks, cavalry threatening the rear becomes decisive. The pursuit brings a second lesson, because horsemen that chase routed troops without control can leave their intended task. This is a game demonstration of screening, fixing, envelopment, rear security, and pursuit discipline rather than a reconstruction of a named ancient battle.
