Avoid a set-piece battle

Near the river Chrysas

two armies were ready to collide

80.000 men

against 40.000

This conflict will determine our future

Guerilla war

scorched Earth

guerilla war

scorched Earth

We are suffering

from supply shortage

loss of moral

decreased discipline

Our forces are more vulnerable

we are losing control

they want an open battle

to kill us all

Light infantry skirmishers are everywhere against us

they use bows slings and light shields

this warfare has exhausted us we are unable to carry on

Disruption

of food supply

However

the Syracusans left

they didn’t want

a long guerilla war

Both sides now weakened

it’s time for peace

Mago and Dionysius

signed a new treaty

Skirmishing
