[Tiberius Claudius Marcellus]

Good luck Bean!

Cheers homie. I'll take that save now

[/Bean\]

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.

I'll PM both saves to TCV

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.

Epidamnos garrison has arrived; Legio III is now free to leave. Vth Cohort has joined Legio II. Epeiros is regrouping and recruiting. S.P Carbo reports that the Epirite king is east of Pella with a mercenary unit of hoplites. It seems he has left his famed army back in Byzantion. The main Epirite force is still in Serdike, but could threaten Illyria from the north. The garrison in Ambrakia has improved. A son of Pyhrrus, Pyrrichos, guards Makedonia's southern border, and an Athenian general has entered Makedonia from the west. In two seasons we will be able to recruit local troops from Epidamnos.

Ah finally its finished...takin save

[/Bean\]

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.

I have also moved Cicero's Legio I Apulia to outside Massilia as per request using the console.
