Presumably Flamininus, having been put out in the last battle, fought with redoubled vigour to avoid a bath again this time around!

Yes not being forced to go for a paddle helped the Romans a lot, as possibly did some advance warning (e.g. reading the previous battle report. I'm sure the lessons learnt from the first two encounters will be put to good use in the third.
