Right, NOW lets kick some Dalminion arse...hope it goes better than last time...takin save

EDIT: Actually, I'm not going to assault Dalminion. My scouts have spotted a sizeable but managable Epirite and Illyrian relief column, which I believe is heading for this city. We will ride out the winter, and hopefully face the enemy on the open battlefield in the spring; a far more favourable prospect.

Legio II has been attacked as presumed by Baen. Battle for you (http://www.mizus.com/pbm/BtSH-261-4-1.rar)! I ask that you please PM the save to me when you are done and do not close any report boxes.

Battle time! :duel:

[/Bean\]

The enemy is destroyed, the city taken, and the Epirite sympathises expelled from the city and surrounding lands. The city now requires a quick response garrison so that the Legio II can return to the field to actively defend the newly acquired province. It also needs to be decided in the senate the future of this Illyrian kingdom-client kingdom or immediate new province.

I also moved Legio III to besiege Epidamnos and started building three rams. The merchant ships were all captured or sunk.

Investigated report of Epirite forces. It is indeed true. I believe this is the Epirite army designed to take command of Dalminion after the recent death of the client king; but we got there first. Now it is about to pass through the mountains. Once done it will be in a position to go for either Dalminion itself, or strike the unprotected rear of Legio III. If it chooses the latter, the effects on the legion, and on the campaign, could be devastating. I have detailed one of my cohorts to remain in Dalminion to keep order while the main body of the Legio II marches in an attempt to block the enemy army's route. However, public order is not good. I require reinforcments immediately.

Right, two battles fought. First was an attack on the Roman camp, details coming soon. Attack was carried out by small elite unit operating from mountains. They were supported by the vanguard of the main Epirite army in Epirus, while the main army was camped some miles away. Forgot to take PrtScrns of results for the first one, but it was a clear victory with barely any casualties.

Second battle was the counter attack of the legion on the main Epirite army. Once again details coming soon in the battle report, but it was another clear victory, the Epirite army was destroyed with barely any Roman casualties.

Uh...I believe some action needs to be taken.

The Epirites are regrouping and recruiting, and could be ready to launch a new offensive come next year led by none other than Pyrrhus himself. The Legio II should be able to deal with it for the time being as long as the reinforcements arrive quickly. I've moved the Legio II's Vth Cohort (Rorarii) out from Dalminion and towards Legio II, which is now back in friendly territory and receiving new supplies. Qvintvs Aemilivs has also joined with Legio II. I have also proritised the Foreign Mic in Epidamnos, and raised the tax level to Very High for the time being until Legio III's departure.

The Carthies are threatening Massilia, and we do not seem to have any legion any where near. The Massilians do not have a standing army and cannot defend themselves. There are also some Corsican troops massing, and only await Carthaginian transports to drop them off on the Italian mainland.

Rebellious farmers and townsmen have taken up arms and have blocked the road between Roma and Fort Latium. On top of this Samnite rebels have led a rebellion amongst some mining slaves, who have also led a rebellion in south Campania.

I suggest the Legio III return to Italia immediately, and whoever should be protecting Massilia should leave immediately.

I also ask that the Consul of the Legions recruit a local (spy) to watch over the mountains in northern Makedonia, in case the Epirites use the opportunity to attack Illyria from behind.

My advance force of cavalry and light troops attempted to block Pyrrhus' route to Ambrakia and the Epirite army there, but Pyrrhus seems to have gotten a whiff of our ambush and scurted around, managing to reach Ambrakia before I could stop him. (Close victory still, yay!)

My advance force attempted to pursue Pyrrhus, but upon learning of his success in reaching Ambrakia, they have made camp atop the hill overlooking the Epirite city, on a saddle between two peaks. This is good ground to force a decisive victory over the Eprites and their king, but without the Legions' heavy infantry the Legio II will be unlikely to be able to hold up against the force of the Epirite army. Therefore I ask the the Legio II's infantry, under the command of Caivs Aemilivs Mamercvs, can join my force as soon as possible.

ehrm.... were are the units I moved with me at the order of quaestor cotta, are you kidding me?

[everyone]

no, when I took the save, the infantry units were already in Epidamnos, somehow; unless you're referring to a few units (rorarii and something I forget) with Cotta somewhere in Epirus.
darn. there must be some way to keep track of units from individual legions other than writing it on post-it notes.

[/Bean\]

I left my heavy infantry with Caivs Aemilivs in a fort east of Epidamnos. I sent Avlvs (SwissBarbar) back to bring them to me, which would have taken at least two turns. The Everyone mentioned he had moved some into Epidmanos, so thats probs where they are.

Who's got the newest save so I can take it to have a look?

Aww crap, just closed it without saving...gotta fight that damn battle again..hopefully I'll kill Pyrrhus this time..ok, in my battle report when I do it pretend I did the beginning again (you'll know what I mean) It's just the results I need to change.

EDIT: I've also just realised this sounds incredibly convienient and unrealistic. I promise I really did not do that on purpose...I have screenies to prove it

EDIT 2: Right, now Pyhrrus is dead, but don't worry, I can sort it out roleplay wise. Just wait for the battle report. And I've only added the victory points once

[/Bean\]

Right, Pyrrhus is dead!!! Mini, I'll need to talk to you when I'm doing my battle report and story. There's something we need to discuss for roleplay reasons.

Right, my light infantry I moved back to Avlvs' (Swiss') command, who then moved into the fort. I want you all to stay there for now, while the heavy infantry stays in Epidamnos. I am returning to Epidamnos with my cavalry.

Everything else to do with the mix up between legions seems to be fine. Here's a screenie of the area as I left it, with the Legio III in Italia, and the Legio II spread across the province:

Correct, I did download it and moved the legion, and even fought some barbarians near Capua with it; but I didn't upload it because my legion was not at full strength (missing eq. rom. and a unit of principes is short about 15-20 men)

Takin save once other comps loaded up

Sorry I'll have to upload save after tea. bbs

[/Bean\]

Right. Here goes.

My cavalry patrol was returning from the attack on Pyrrhus when they came across a small but heavily armed patrol, blocking their route back to Epidamnos. Rather than risk going back and skirting around Ambrakia, I decided to lead an attack on them, and won. The patrol was eradicated.

I have designated another fort to be contructed north of the other one to protect it's back, and installed a mixed garrison there. I would appreciate it if either Avlvs Aemilivs or Caivs Aemilivs moved to command that fort. That leaved the Legio II spread across the province, and able to protect it from any direction.

However, I am still worried about possible reports of Epirite forces massing north of Makedonia. I renew my request that the Consul of the Legions grant me access to a local spy from Epidamnos to watch over this potential threat.

I would also like to use this oppurtunity to congratulate the Consul for his victories in Southern Gaul; a well deserved and favoured victory!

I ask that the Consul of Finance designate a Villa Magistratvs to be built in Epidamnos following the completion of the Foreign MIC. This will turn this Greek/Illyrian settlement into a proper Roman town.

For the Senate, I request permission to return to Roma soon to conduct my Triumphus and ask for a promotion to Praetor, and also plea my case for further action in Greece.

Also for the Consul of the Legions, my Equites need replenishing. Considering our treasury and the few survivors of the Equites, I believe it would be far more economical and quicker to simply raise some more Equites in Roma and send them straight to Epidamnos.

moved Leves from Arretium to Segesta
moved 2 akontistai from Rhegion to Syracuse for eventual garrison

On the eastern front, the Epirotes seem to be less active in their military, with Legio II guarding the borders of Ambracia.
on Sicily, nothing of interest has happened, other than that the Carthaginian leader has fled from the vicinity of Messana.

Consul of Finance Report Winter, 255

Not a Usual Report...Only News.

Dux Servivs Longvs has extended an alliance toward Syrakousaian king Hiero, he has accepted the alliance, along with a few tons of Roman gold. Servivs Longvs found the city to be disgustingly overcrowded and the people are in riot over the need to expand. The Legio III is ordered to support Consul Manivs Cicero in taking Lilibeo.(Used forced_diplomacy bribe and used add_money for the exact amount.)

Also, Consul Manivs Cicero and the Consular Legio I Roma has been challenged to the field of battle by a Captain Hamalcar of Carthage. Our forces are evenly matched in number, but the Consul shall no doubt vanquish them with finely executed Roman tactics. (The save is for everyone, he has a battle to fight.)

OOC: everyone, I trust you can include all my stuff in your report when the turn is over thank you. Also, include this in the buildings part of the report: Syrakousai has begun construction on a Villa Proconsvlis as it is vastly overcrowded. I have already queued the construction for it though.

sure?

[navarro951]

News from the front....

The large Carthaginian force has sallied forth against Dux Servivs Longvs' siege. The Carthaginian force has 1800+ men doubling Legio III Campania's manpower.

OOC: Potocello will have 48 hours to fight the battle, if does not make the date, Mooks will have 24 hours to fight the battles as Tribunes can lead a defense, not an attack. If within the 72 hours both players do not take the save, it will be auto-resolved. Most likely with a devastating outcome.

For Potocello. (http://www.mizus.com/pbm/BtSH-254-3-4.rar)

PM THE SAVE TO ME!

Please contain what buildings were built and in what cities along with any of the usual you see in Consul reports thank you!

This is the siege of Lilibaeum, right? Is Legio V participating?

My english is close to native level and my french is advanced level speaker.
I usually speak spanish with some (hot) argentinian girls on my msn and I sometimes use my german at work.


Flemish people (not Belgian, and certainly not Dutch) are regarded as the best foreign language speakers of Europe, with the Swiss close behind :)

Even saw a few scientific studies claiming flemish tongues are bigger than avarage to deal with years of multilangual speaking :)


Can you blame us? In the course of history, we've been occupied by almost everybody :D
Vlaanderen (Flanders) is Europe's favorite battleground :)

[everyone]

since we're speaking about languages on the consul report while waiting for mooks/potocello to take the save, I'll just contribute to the off-topicness of this discussion

I only speak English and Chinese (unless you consider dialects). so that time in the OOC thread when mini said something like "what am I speaking, chinese?" he wasn't.

Well, I'll let that count *GGG* You are speaking extraordinarily many languages. :2thumbsup: Have a ballon for it :balloon2: Swiss are unfair anyway, because we have 4 official languages in our small country, of which we (at least the ones from the Swissgerman speaking part) have to learn at least 2 in school (I had to learn French for 8 years, aaargggghh) + english. :dizzy2: :dizzy2:

[mini]

we got 2 official languages and 2 that are semi-official.

Dutch/French = official
German/English = semi

We have a german part in Belgium, but's rather small which is why german is semi.
You can't get around english internationally..


In highschool I had per week:
5 hrs dutch

3hrs german

6 hours economics

Theat leaves 8 hours for anything else from science to gym to math ;p

REMINDER: Potocello now has 24 hours to fight the battle, after which 24 hours will be given to Mooks to fight it. Again, if it is not fought by a player, it will be auto-resolved. Also, no more OOC chatter! (I admit to my own as well, just keep it where it belongs friends.)
