Hi guys, The reason my wife was in hospital was to give birth to our first child. Things didn't go according to plan and the little mite ended up in neonatal intensive care. Thankfully she is fine now, and I have her and my wife home safe. At the moment even simple things seem really difficult - so ...

Apologies for my absence - my wife has been in hospital. Should be back in a few days.

Bad luck, Rome!

Athens, meanwhile, has sucumbed to Egyptian assualt (62/57 vs 18/37)

Any news, or screen shots, from the Macedonian vs Roman battle royale?

Love the Art of Battles website - remarkable stuff!

Hi Ian, minor and major cities are depicted on the map as black circles with white centres, and are listed in the rules section. The map I have stolen and corrupted for this campaign has little black dots with names of ancient cities on in a number of provinces. I have kept these on the map for hist...

Turn 4 Diplomatic News - Rome and the Seleucids have chosen to put off their inevitable clash, for now, by renewing their non-aggression pact. The Seleucid web also extends to the bloodied Pontics - who have signed a non-aggression pact in Seleucia. Battles: Danny's Pontics including warleader (500)...

Caesar advances on the troubled province of 52 with 500 pts of lean and mean fighting legionaries. and sends 400 pts to invade the province of 39 and squash some haries. Ta Ian Unfortunately 52 now counts as a naval invasion for Rome - so either this would be your only attack this round (no war fre...

Turn 3 saw the continuing extermination of the Gauls by Rome, but also saw three of the other great powers attack Roman provinces. Ptolemaic invasion of the Italian penisular was narrowly driven off (as was their equally audacious and bloody invasion of Athens), but the Carthagian invasion of Scily ...

Anyone want a fight?

I think Roman province 14 is the last contested area this round? Any news?

45/46 Athenians vs 44/41 Ptolemaics. Phew - a lucky escape for Athenian democracy - the entire pantheon of gods were smiling upon my dice, and cursing the invader's. Great game and exceedingly unlucky for Egypt.

Meanwhile the struggle for Athens continues - both side around 10 Break Points left, but the Athenian hoplites are tiring rapidly.

The Parthians have withdrawn(Resigned). Sorry Jonah but there is no way a Parthian army of 400 points stands any chance against the Pontics.The Battle field is simply to small to manoeuvre and LH ave Cav bowmen are as good as throwing pebbles at the opposing army. Sorry for any inconvenience caused...

Should be interes...
