In one battle, an Eastern Roman Empire army was defeated in a squeaker by forces of the Sassanaians. Three Persian cavalry were cut down by the doughty blades of the Roman foot (!) but on the other side of the battlefield, the Easterners managed to slaughter the Roman light troops just a little faster, slaying several units of auxilia and psiloi and (quite unexpectedly), killing off a detachment of light horse in a stand-up fight with skirmishers. (4-3 Sassanids)
In the second battle, Sarmatians overran another Imperial Army, this time of the West. Despite luring the enemy deep into hilly, wooded terrain in Moesia, the local legate was surrounded and cut down by enemy heavy horse before his foot troops could wreak devastation on the columns of closely packed riders (2G-0 Sartmatians).
