The Power and the Might

A Report to the Senate of Rome - Spring 225 BC

Greetings Senators, you are welcome to the new Senate and the Emperor looks forward to a successful term of governance with you as we rebuild the shattered political institutions of Rome. As Lucius Victor Scipio is currently campaigning he has asked that the following be passed on to the people of Rome through you.

Since the ourtreak of civil war some two years ago the legions of the legal government of the people of Rome have been successful and it is hoped the war will be ended before the next time we meet. Too, there has been treachery as Thrace, casting off her long alliance with the people of Rome, have declared war and even know march on our Danubian provinces. They too will have to be dealt with.

I Legion (Captain Herius) is currently finishing its campaign in Egypt and its lead elements have closed on Thebes. II (Asinius Marcellus) and VI Legions (Agustus Ignatius) have broken the power of Egypt in Asia, although the cost was high. VI Legion is completing a refit in Jerusalem after the latest round of plague claimed its share of victims. VII Legion (Sextus Scipio) in Spain has taken Numantia and is pressing northward against continued Julii resistance while a new garrison legion (XIX Hispaniae I) is being raised to secure the liberated regions.

Along the Danube XI (Danube) Legion is being strengthened with cavalry and the two young generals (Vibius Manilus and Spurius Paulinus) have been dispatched with their escorts to reinforce the Danube and Balkan provinces and to raise barbarian infantry to expend against the Thracians. XII (Thrace) garrison legion has been ordered to concentrate its patrols and eject the Thracians from their home province, driving them north of the lower Danube. Meanwhile, VIII Legion (Quintus Sextus) has moved south from Germania to engage the Thracian army most directly threating the frontier.

In Italia, III Legion (Luca Ahenobarbus) after a serious mauling is now refitting near Mediolanium while IV Legion (Flavius Scipio) lays seige to the city. V Legion (Decius Victor Scipio) has just finished destroying the largest of the former senatorial armies and is now pursuing the remaining elements near the mountains to the north of Rome. IX (Lucius Victor Scipio) is refitting in Capua while X Legion (Publius Scipio) is doing the same in Rome.

Finally, the fleet has all but swept the eastern and central Mediterranean of enemy ships while the remnants of a once powerful Julii fleet still harras us in the west. The Thracian fleet numbers some 100 ships and currently out numbers our own squadrons in the region which could cause some minor difficulties for trade and the movement of the Scythian and Sarmatian barbarian troops to Asia. Our fleet totals some 513 ships but is somewhat scattered at the moment as a result of running down enemy squadrons.

Five Year Plan for the Years 225 - 221 BC

I Legion is to finish up in Egypt and then take ship along with VI Legion to Tripolitania where they will begin the subjegation of the Brutii provinces. II Legion will remain in Asia and move eastwards to ensure that Parthia is not destroyed by the ever growing Armenians. XVI, XVII and XVIII (garrison) Legions will be raised to ensure the peace in the Asian provinces. In Spain, VII Legion will continue to harrass the Julii taking the opportunity to capture any provinces except those of the Spanish. In the Balkans the VIII Legion will take the fight to the Thracians turning over any captured provinces north of the Danube to the German tribes (as a balance against the Britons).

In Italia, III and IV Legions will push through the northern Julii provinces with the goal of Cisalpine Gaul while IX and X Legions push northward through the Julii home provinces. V Legion will be moved by sea to Sardinia and then to Masillia to link with III and IV Legions. The fleet will reorganize and finish off any opposition at sea, ensuring the freedom of navigation for Roman grain ships and merchants.

Nothing related to the actual topic, but: any report from a military commander to the senate would begin with 'I and my army are well'.

Good luck with the next bit of your campaign.

Thanks for the tip, perhaps in the next Roman campaign I'll use that format. This campaign is its final stages since the fall of the Italian cities along with Thebes and Bostra should meet the fifty province requirements. The only hope for the AI is if both the Julii and Brutii strike hard but I doubt they will be able to much at this point (unfortunately).

**GeneralHankerchief** · 09-25-2006, 02:25

It needs to be in Italy or Sicily to happen.

**Pontifex Rex** · 09-25-2006, 05:05

Victory!

Romans!!

The war is over, the empire is secure. The Julii and Brutii have submitted to the lawful rule of the Senate and of Emperor Lucius Augustus. The emperor has declared a general amnesty for the surviving members of the other houses and commands that all efforts turn to defeating the foreign barbarians that surround the empire.

Ave Roma!! Ave Lucius Scipio, Augustus, Emperor of Rome and all the civilized world!!
