The Will of the Senate - Senate Deliberations

[Death the destroyer of worlds]

Senators,

My interpretation of the motions is the same as that of this wise legate Tiberius Coruncanius (FLYdude). It follow the directives of motion 1 and 3 because it explicity addresses the issue of Carthaginian islands. I will not take more territory from the Gauls in accordance with motion 5. If I recall the discussion around motion 5 was centered on how far into Gaul we would expand.

Our garrisons are now up to strength, as was indeed the one at Aleria. But it is obvious the Cartheginians with their ability for naval invasion can strike anywhere and anyplace and no garrison can stand against 1800 men. Now the Cartheginians have retaken one of their own towns I've ordered captured. We will retake it soon. If I did not take the fight to them it might wel have been Capua, or even Roma itself which we would be forced to recapture.

Therefore I will continue this course of action. Aleria will be recaptured and afterwards consul Quintus will again attempt to capture Caralis. Let us keep fighting the Carthegninians on their own soil instead of their own.

All our towns have decent garrisons. The Sicilian ones and the greek colonies and our northen border towns bigger ones. There is a legion stationed in Sicily, one in Souther Italy, the Legio II Sabina Quintia is stationed at our border with Illyria and Thrace, the Legio I Italia Victrix is stationed at our northern border with Gaul, the Legio III Sicilia Aemilia is stationed at our western border with Gaul. Our consular army is in Corsica.

OOC : Concerning speed, I am forced to wait on other players, who play as fast as they can. Some are living in the states, and with the time zone difference this is not helping us.

EDIT : I second the motions made by Swordsmaster.
