Rebulding an empire

[Bob the Insane]

I continued this campaign a little further...

The Southern Legion spent the next couple of years chasing the Vandals around the province before pinning them against the Danube and defeating them in a pitched battle where the horde was slaughtered like the animal they once were. There are none left, the name Vandal is resigned to the history books. But is was a bitter and empty victory, routine tactics, chasing and cutting down broken units. More of a chore than a glorious victory, but vengence is always this way in the end...

The city was taken back from the local warlords that had taken up residence, quickly and without fuss. The General should have order the city wiped clean of the vermin that had taken up residence but with the death and destruction all around it seemed like a petty gesture and a self defeating one at that. The population is so small already it would have turned the city into the tome. No they must look to the future and rebuild. Rebuild the magnificant structures, the population and the economy.

In Britain a large Celtic army has desended from the north and has captured the northern most city of the Empire, puting the garrison and a menber of the imperial household to the sword. This is a very worrying development as the bulk of the Roman forces in Britain where stationed there and defeated in battle. With the Soutern Legion garrsioning and recovering in Aquincum this leaves only the Northern Legion to defend the rest of the frontier with the germanic lands. Sending them to Britain would impossible at the moment due to a recent attack by the Franks. While the northern legion defeated them in battle and drove them from the field a significant number survived to reach safety. Considering them to be a real and definite threat the Northern Legion was dispatched into Frankish lands and is currently besieging their capital.

ERE attacks continue but they are still thwarted by our valiant garrsion in Salona (spelling?). The construction of a North African Legion continues apace. The situation in Britain is our highest concern...
