This will be a short update of the current campaign for those who are interested. It is about 240 BC, my Scipii legions have conqured all of Sicilia, Byzacium, Tripolitania, Cyrenaica, Kydonia, and the Baliares. I did control Africa, but the Carthaginians revolted and I had to besiege the city again. They have about five turns left until starvation forces a surrender. I would take the city by storm except for the three Elephant units inside, so I am weakening them down. Most of their other units are a mixed bag of peasants and town malitia. The only province left to Carthage is Baetica and they are in a death struggle with the Spanish there.

On the diplomatic front, I have trade rights and alliances with Greece, Gual, Spain, Germania, Macedonia (after I took Cyrenaica from them), Thrace, and Dacia. I had a good treaty with Numidia, but they broke it when they attacked my fleet off Palma. They were a little upset that I captured Palma before they could, as they had an army there for that purpose. Se la guerre I always say. I captured Palma, drove his navy away, and obliterated his few soldiers with a small legion sent from Carthage. Er....that was probably why it revolted.


Haven't had any real great battles in this last round. It should be interesting to see what Numidia will do now. I face the possability of a two front war with a rebellious population to attend to as well. Hmm....shades of Iraq? It ought to prove an interesting phase in the campaign. Any good suggestions on fighting the Numidians?
