I'm thinking about making a new campaign on the Peloponnesian War (whole or part thereof (then the Archidamian War part)). If anyone wants to collaborate, then that would be fun.

Wow, really nice!

Will Etruscan side use Samnite allies?

Yes.

Paused over summer, will pick up again for the three remaining Diadochi in mid/end of August, with increasing stakes of satrapies!

Yes, Etruscan Army intercepts.

Etruscan Army I moves:

1. N: 6, +1 for moving along Road = 7 > 2 (Farmlands) => Allow move and another attempt for that Army.
2. N: 5, +1 for moving along Road = 6 > 4 (Hills) => Allow move and another attempt for that Army.
3. Stays.

Etruscan Army II stays and reinforces back to Strong (at the end of this Operation).

Etruscan II: Clusium

What a year! Saw a lot of dramatic twists and turn, with the Etruscans starting off on a strong note but the Romans kicking back with a vengeance. When the dust settled at the end of the campaign season in the first year, one Etruscan Army has been annihilated, two Cities have swapped, and another ...

Etruscan Operation #10
Sole remaining Army is in supply. Attempting siege again, one final time...
8, modified by Army is Weakened: -1, Large City: -2, previous attempts +7 = 12 => Clusium falls (finally!) to the Etruscans. => +1 Momentum gained.
