Hi Kronenblatt, Sorry for the confusion, but why did my army not move at all? Shouldn't the combat between me and Generalkosta be two hexes southward for each army? ( you have my moves correctly recorded as 6 6 6) It would matter I think as I would get reinforcements for being adjacent to my capitol and a city…plus post battle positioning.
You're absolutely right: you should have moved two hexes further south, with GeneralKostas army stopping northeast of you. Map updated below. Apologies.

Also I have developed an attack of senility , am I reading the rules right that in type a battles players can take allies as per you nation at will and with no restrictions? ( except mercs)
No, you need to own at least one Town or City with that culture in order to use it as allies.
Perhaps he suspects a miscalculation? Perhaps he plans to withdraw?
The investment of Gela, an ethnically Greek city, is an affront to the Hellenic diaspora of the western Mediterranean, an assault would be an act of war.

Hello Giacofa93
To start our game I'm waiting to know if you're playing with an ally or mercenaries
Thank you
Hi, I'll play with Carthaginian with Greek ally. Since I've won a type B battle in previous round and no mercenaries used, I should have +30 FP for a total of 1430 (Andreas or someone else might want to check if this is right).

Greeks are friends, as the wise citizens of Agrigentum have learned, and are now marching along with our glorious army

I’d say: correctum. Since rules state:
+30 FP for a player's army, if the player in the previous round won a Type B battle when defending a Town or City (whether his own or not) and if not is using Mercenary as allies or main army (see Outcomes and effects of battles below).
Protracted and vigorous negotiations around a significant central argument were drawn to a close once the more numerous Syracusan "observers" gained entry to the city through side gates and conducted a snap poll of residents.
Much to the delight of the Hegemon, the polis of Messana has elected to join the Greater Sicilian Co-prosperity Sphere and take their rightful place as one of the key influencers in the Hegemons council of advisors. The future of Sicily is in safe hands.
The Lucanians somewhat rashly divided their forces in the face of a superior force. Part of their army deployed in and behind a large rough patch on their far left and the other part deployed in and around a medium sized forest on their far right. A few troops were deployed as a screen in the center.
We massed our light foot to screen an assault on the enemy left. Our Samnite allies spearheaded the assault into the rough supported by a few spearmen. most of our heavy foot advanced in oblique in support of that assault and slowly wheeled left as the Lucanian center retreated towards the shelter of the woods. The Lucanian cavalry sallied to threaten our left supported by some light and medium foot.
On our right, our superior numbers saw off the handful of screening enemy lights and after a volley or two to weaken the remaining mediums, our Samnites slammed into them supported by flanking spear. In a short sharp fight, we flanked and broke most of them.
In the center, our obliqueing spears, supported by our cavalry, destroyed or chased off the Lucanian horse and slowly ground down some of the remaining mediums who attempted to support the flanking move.
Seeing the day was lost the survivors fled the field and the gates were thrown open in submission to the victors.

Type B, Canusium: dim30 (army 7, 1400 FP) versus TheGrayMouser (Apulian, 1000 FP), Mediterranean Agricultural
Epirote army is supported by an allied corps of Apulian citizen looking for social progress under Epirote ruling.
Game setup.
pw : Canusium
dim30 (epirote) beat TGM (Apulian) 40% - 2%
Apulian citizen of Canusium have gathered too less people to stand the mighy army of Epire despite fierce and brave fight.
Epire council will gave good peace condition to this city.
Type B, Gela: Giacofa93 (army 8, 1400 FP) versus shane30 (Syracusan, 1200 FP), Mediterranean Agricultural
Giacofa93 defeats shane30 42-10
Way closer battle than the score shows: the Carthaginians had a hard time assaulting the carefully deployed Gelan position, breaking through thanks to some strenuous resistance of lesser troops that allowed a few vital penetrations of the enemy line.
