In our CCA games, count stands at Caesar 5 vs Pompey 1. <br /><br />The 6:4 cards do give Caesar more flexibility and his preponderance of Heavy Infantry are tough to stand toe-to-toe with using a mix of HI and MI.<br /><br />Your dismantling of Pompey 7:0 was an unbelievable victory.

That makes Caesar 5: Pompeii 1. I think the additional command cards also gives Caesar a sizable advantage as he can choose from more cards and activates more units with several of them.
