Update on several Hour(s)

Chapter 1- The Steps Towards Glory
The Life and Times of Galerius Dollabella

"We Romans do not want War. but in a battle, We , Romans Will Stand and Fight!! HUZZAH!"
The Year is 265 (5 after start of RTW/ ASR)
Rome is on the verge of War with Gaul. several wandering Rebels on Italy have been killed easily by Lucius Iulius Libo, Caretaker of Arminium. Libo died during fighting the Rebels.

Rome, Latium Italica
a year earlier, there was a Young Man, who Voulenteered to enter the Legions that were going to War.
he came upon a Tall and strong-looking man
"Hey, Kid. what's your business"
"I am going to enter the Legions"
"Hahah!!! do you think you are going to enter that easily?"
"No."
"scam!"
Then came a somewhat 30-year old man in full armor
"Wait!! Follow Me" [I] said the man [I]"sir?" Luca replied You should come with me. you're that Student from Germanicus School right?
"Yes, Sir. I am trained to negotiate with Barbarians"
"Great I will need you. for the meantime, you're gonna be with my Triarii unit, by the way, can I know your name?"
"certainly. It's Memmius sir, Luca Memmius
"Good. now pack your stuff"

Memmius was certainly happy to be in the Army. he became a Tribune in Dollabella's army, serving in his Triarii.

Now, we start our story...

The Second Gallic-Roman War
265- Galerius Dolabella has took Patavium, and is now under the Shadows of a Barbarian Invasion.

meanwhile, has a Legion under his Command. to fight off a Barbarian army that is about to cross the Rhone River.

Dolabella encountered the Army that was eventually led by Enemnogenus of Elaver, the Brother of Romanorix, the General that has been killed in Patavium by Dolabella's Apprentice, Manius Iulius Libo

[I][I]

The following Reports were taken from "Comentarii Bello de Gallico- Dolabella"

It was a Calm Winter day...
I know that my defeat is imminent, but for Rome, I did this

Again, it was a Calm Winter day...
We had positioned ourselves opposite of the Gallic Camp. I made my Auxilliaries in front line. I knew that these men were more eager then any Roman, since their homes were endangered and will, and always be, destroyed.
The Gallic Army was vast. more than two times of Mine

I've also heard a saying from the far east that "Knowing is half the Battle"
again I tell you ROMA VICTRIX!!

The Gauls attacks straightly toward my men

I thank Luca Memmius who encouraged the Auxilliaries to be in Guard Position. He would be my Successor someday, I know it

Dolabella: HOLD YOUR GROUND!!!! GET BACK TO YOUR POSITION COWARDS!!*looks to the side LUCA! GET THESE MEN BACK!!
Memmius: YES, SIR!! *runs to position and dismounts

Memmius: "Hastati! On me!! CHARGE!!!

Luca Memmius led the young Legionaries (Hastati) to support the Broken Auxillaries. the Auxillaries won the first wave. There were slightly more danger

Memmius: HAIL IUPITER!! WE HAVE DID IT!! ROMA VICTRIX!!
Auxillaries: VICTRIX! VICTRIX!

they had a much more Bigger force in the Un-experienced Reserves.

Prefect Marcus:"These People considerably use light weapons, skill and mass force"
Dolabella: very well then.

In fear, The Auxillaries Retreat, while Recieving my direct orders, Memmius and the Legionaries escape.

*Memmius comes along with his scarred horsemen
Memmius: sir, how about you
Dolabella: I will Hold these Savages while you retreat. don't worry about me, I will be back
Memmius: Yes, sir!
*Memmius leads his men back to camp
Dolabella: Marcus!, let 'em get some!!
Marcus: Just like old times
CHARGE!!!

Marcus: General, the Reserves are routing!
Dolabella: We need to keep pressing!!

Marcus: but sir, If we continue chasing them, we will be too deep inside Gallic territory
Dolabella: very well, sound the retreat!!
Marcus: RETREAT!

I meant it as a compliment Gaius Spetimus. I really like your style and humor. Sorry to have been so late to reply to this.
