Both Etruscan Armies are in supply.

Etruscan Operation #7: ARMY.

• Army I SIEGE => 1 => No effect.

• Army II MOVE NE => 10 => Move successful.

(Why couldn't we get it the other way around?!?)

[kronenblatt]

Does Roman Army II in Vulci stand and fight, or does it retreat?

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

Hello everybody !

Any news from the Vulci's front ?

[kronenblatt]

Yes, I’m in the middle of it. First blood has been shed, unfortunately mostly Etruscan. Got a bad feeling about this (but then again I always do), but will fight until the end Etruscan style.

.... but will fight until the end Etruscan style.

Given the generally poor historical accounts of the Etruscans, does that mean you will be running away soon?

That’s a distinct possibility…

It’s called a clever tactical reorganization move from the perspective of improving real racing skills and promoting leg day.

You can’t dare to talk about it otherwise !
