The Romans have just badly defeated my only army in Italy, which were the remnants of Harkilaz's great force, but the new commander, Hailaz, has not got the armies confidence (despite winning a few victories against less able commanders - captains) - heavily outnumbered, they were soundly beaten in Etruria and only a small part of the army now remains, which means Rome now has a free reign at Segesta and Medilanum. The Greeks in the east haven't taken any more places, but have a few armies wandering about. One of my commanders has been protecting the bridge north of Gawjam-Silengoz, where he's had a few battles and turned back some strong Greek armies by killing their leaders in battle and routing the armies, while another large Greek army is headed for Noricae, but has been headed off by my largest army, led by a young 20 year old unproven commander, but who has some quite promising traits. He needs to smash the Greek army and head towards Italy, but he can't risk taking the Greeks on as for the last two or three turns, they haven't moved from the fjord, and I can't risk losing lots of men attacking across a river. Hayasdan has declared war on me too.
