Spain

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Fun alternative.

Defend at the Pyrenees. Forts in both Northern passes and a good defensive field army near Osca. This will become the focus of a lot of Julii and Gallic attention. You can bleed them pretty well there and train up several strong fighting units for subsequent attacks.

Equip an invasion force and a follow on force and go take Ireland. Follow on force is 4-6 Town militia and 8-12 peasants. Take Ireland, garrison with town militia, disband peasants to build population. Should have a port going and trade with your Northern ports.

Then, once you've paused and sorted things out, take Britain from the North down. The Brits are rarely prepared for this and usually have most of their fighters across the channel. Consolidate.

Now you should have 2 well trained strike armies: 1 in Britain and 1 in Spain. Send the Spanish army forward along the isles to attack Italy OR along North Africa after Carthage. Use the Northern force to hit Gaul, Germany or the remnants of the Brits as you see fit. None of the Northern Barb forces is particularly well set to handle an attack from the North like that.

funny, I used this strategy with the Britons
there's nothing like Brit Chariots sieging Corduba, with that feeling of "where did they come from ?"

I will capture Samarobriva, and Brits wont be smart enough to recapture it.

i am playing a h/h spain campaign i have a question shall i invade gaul or africa

[mrdun]

I would say either. Just not both. Gaul would secure you back ie if you plumped for Africa Gaul could cross the pairofknees but Afica opens up more sea trade but Scipii and Egypt. Gaul, you also run ino romans but there is more towns so possibly more money/ easier conquest. Heads or tails mate

[Paradox]

I would suggest you start by unifying Iberia and eliminating the Gauls, than it would be a good time to invade Africa.

[Morgoth-NL]

its going pretty good i invade africa and capture Carthage
