But today I was playing my RTR Roman Campaign, and a huge Selucid army attacked one of my huge armies, and I thought of all of you. So here you go, imo, a huge battle.I forgot to get the first pic, of the numbers of men per army, but they had 3800+, and I had 3200+, so I was a little outnumbered, and they were stacked with Phalanx. I was worried!

Here is a pic of my formation from the back right corner. You can see the Thracian Soldiers hiding in the grass, and the Principes ahead, proudly waiting.
An upper view of my tight formation. 
Roman Principes! Here ya go people who dont get to see RTR units that much.
Another shot of the Thracian Infantry.
These are Mercenary Hoplites. They stand behind the Principes, and between the Thracian's. In the middle. They are not that strong, especially against these Selucid's coming up, so I use them for reinforcement to hold the main line. Thus being able to hopefully flank it later.
Ah, the good old Creten Archers! Powerfull, but sadly wont do that much damage against the Selucids armour.
One of my Generals looking onward at the massive Selucid Invasion about to hit the front line.
These photos are of the Enemy army marching toward mine.
Here Im attempting to widen my lines with the Hoplites. If they can hold their ground for a bit, I can run the Thracian Infantry to their flanks!
Giving my Thracian's the order to run toward the Enemy's flank.
Lines are almost together!
My Principes are launching their pilums at the Seluciuds!
Here you can see the Thracians running to the far sides. Getting enough room to swing in around the back.
Another look at more arrows and pilums getting thrown at the Enemy. But, they still run like crazy bastards!
Thracians in striking position. I shall run them to the backs of the main line.
Hoplites and Principes beginning to wage war. The fighting has begun!
Well, my main line is holding, but look at that clump of Phalanx they have hitting me at my centre.
"Soldiers of Rome, You MUST hold the line!"
I've decided that I must use my General's to help flank. The enemy is too strong to fight one on one, and my Thracians are too little in number.
My Generals are now charging into their first target with hopes of getting them to rout. 
On the left side, I managed to also get one of the Thracian units to flank an enemy.
I did the same on the other side, but they got flanked soon after themselves, and I have no other relief for them. They will have to hopefully hold until I can get more units over, if more should become available!
Fortune! My General's have routed one enemy unit. Now I have an extra unit to help flank. Im growing confident.
Setting my Generals up for another charge!
CHARGE!!!!!!!!!
Routed their General unit!!! This is looking good. I think I shall easily win now.
CHARGE AGAIN!!!!!!!
Ouch, took some casualties on that last one.
So now Im charging them to where the Thracians were flanked. They held the whole time.
One of my Principe units is routing at the centre. 
Its time for an all out charge! I need all the troops I can muster, so I charged my Creten Archers who were out of ammo!
I charged my Generals there as well, although they are hurting badly.
They're starting to rout now!!! Yeah, thats great, and look, my reinforcements who were casually late. Lol, the battle is pretty much already over you morons!
This unit is free and Im running them to the flank of more enemy units.
Fighting, and skillfull flanking! 
Surrounded, and routing!
More flanking preperation.
This would be pretty much it. Stay tuned for death pictures! RATED R
DEATH DEATH DEATH and results.
Well, I know it was really long, but I hope you enjoyed.
