Romans will fight.
Chris will be commanding Roman Army.

[Chris Townsend]

It is my honour to be appointed Consul for the day

Die roll for terrain is 7 (sorry, didn't label before rolling) - so Mediterranean Agricultural.
1st (and only) battle for both armies, no other strength modifiers, so 1550 pts each.
Etruscans are attackers, so are side A and will move first.

Since this is the second battle of Vulci (Vulci II), the password is: VulciII
