Looks like your diplomatic deadlock has broken up nicely. What a sunny clear day in the midst of winter for the Helveconae battle...the pics just looked cold.

I've noticed how overwhelmingly infantry-heavy your armies are. Part of that is probably just the Germanic unit roster. I'm tempted by the idea of doing same with my Egypt campaign, just to do something different. Throw 17 Thorax Sword units at someone and see how it works out....
