Vae Victis - Romans vs. Etruscans: Ongoing

[ilpars]

So I guess losing Roman army has to roll d10 for retreat attrition table.

RETREAT ATTRITION TABLE
• 2 or lower: Reduce Defender’s Status 2 levels
• 3 – 4: Reduce Defender’s Status 1 level
• 5 or higher: No effect

Roman army has to retreat 1 hex, Etruscan army may advance to that hex if it chooses.

Then it is Roman 2nd operation.

[kronenblatt]

Romans: please roll for Retreat Attrition and post here to which hex the Roman Army retreats.

[DIVM]

Rom - Op1 2nd Army RETREAT:
d10: 5

-No effect.

The Roman Army II moves directly south to the road hex it came from. Romans have understood, brutally, this won't be a single summer's war.

[kronenblatt]

Etruscan Army advances to the vacated hex.

[ilpars]

1sr Roman army will try to move to Cosae and start siege

[ilpars]

My army does not want to move. Over to 2nd Roman army.
I forgot to tell this is Roman 2nd Operation. All Armies are in supply. It is an army operation.

I appreciate your try at stretching rules , but rules are pretty clear about this. Right?

Army Reinforcement
An Army that throughout one of its Major Faction’s Operations remains in the hex of a Friendly City without moving, sieging, and fighting battles will at the end of that Operation increase its Status 1 level, up to but not exceeding Strong.

[DIVM]

I was only beautifying the returning at Clumsium after the defeat. I know they cannot reinforce, that's why I typed "rest" No stretching intended
