Imperium Romanum - part I (the Rise): Abandoned

[Aetius39]

1. Aetius (Romans 105-25 BC) attacks Asia 6 FP + 30 FP (opponent choose terrain) Doyley50 as opponent.

Aetius (Romans) defeats Doyley50 (Romans) 41-8


An early break on my opponent's right led to the line being swept up on that side, while our Roman right tried stopping their cavalry, and then helped finish up the line. GG!

Hi Deeter.
I think that there is some mistakes on our battle.
Terrain doesn't sound like mediterranean agricultural but rather desert. Defender can't have allies, and I should have 1580 pts instead of 1600. Can you launch another one.

Really tough fight, even with a hill to help defend with. Finally, though, the Romans fell to several flanks and the left being enveloped. GG!

Aetius (Romans) defeats kronenblatt (Gauls) 62-33


Gauls put up a nasty fight, but warbands continued with their dicey cohesion checks. On saying that, they ground the Roman army down quite a bit in the end. GG!

Aetius (Seleucids) defeats kronenblatt (Romans) 44-13

The Seleucid army started on a hill, but the main battle was fought between the base of the hill and a river, which the Greeks so graciously allowed the Romans to cross.^^ The Romans got unlucky at the beginning with a push back that allowed a flank, and although they held on stubbornly for a long time (they are, after all, Romans), eventually a few units auto-broke and the Greeks won the day. GG!

This seventh round (50 - 10 BC) allows for 1-5 attacks per player upon provinces connected by land or sea to the provinces you already control. (5 is the maximum.)

If making more than one attack, you'll divide up your Virtus' FP adjustment evenly between these attacks.



Please also note that Romans will starting in this round face an additional -20 FP adjustment in each of its battles, due to 'time decay'. (In round 10 it will increase to -40 FP, and in round 13 to -60 FP, and so on.)

If you decide to select the map terrain of the province attacked (then doing so in the attack declaration), then there's a -30 FP adjustment, and if you leave that to the defender, then you'll get a +30 FP adjustment (in both cases of course only if there's more than one map terrain to choose from for that particular province).

We can all submit our attack declarations at the same time, not needing to wait for each other, in the campaign thread by March 11 at the latest.

Any of the other players can be chosen as opponents, but that player can not be chosen again until all other players thereafter have in between been chosen as opponents too.

Also, if possible, please also choose opponents who haven't yet been chosen that round, in order to distribute games evenly among defending players in each round.

Since it's now 50-10 BC, two different Roman armies can be selected in each attack: Roman 105-25 BC and Roman 24 BC - 99 AD. You can, as attacker, select allies available in-game (TT mod) to the Roman army list, but only if they cover the time period (50-150 BC) and you control their provinces.

A player's attack declarations must be posted in the campaign thread and include the following information:

• The Roman army list (and allies, if any) used by the player in his attack.

• The province attacked.

• The player's total FP adjustment for the attack (i.e., his Virtus FP adjustment divided by the number of attacks that he is making that round, the -20 FP 'time decay' adjustment, and the terrain adjustment).

• The map terrain, if he (as attacker) decides to make that selection.

• The player to be his opponent as defender.

• Example (for round 5, 90 - 50 BC): Roman 105-25 BC attacks Lugdunensis. +70 FP. North European Wooded. Aetius39 as opponent.

The defender then

• selects an army list from the TT Mod v1.5.32b, whose time period overlaps the current round's (90 - 50 BC) and whose geographic location fits the attacked province.

• If the Romans historically had conquered the attacked province in full by that time period, there will be a civil war battle, using the same Roman army list for the defender (albeit without allies).

• Please use a generous, friendly and constructive approach that will promote fun games, both when it comes to selecting army lists (especially as defender) and when it comes to approving or disapproving such army lists (especially as attacker).

[kronenblatt]

1. Roman 105-25 BC attacks Dalmatia. +60* FP. dim30 as opponent.

* +60 FP = +50 FP (from Virtus 5) minus 20 FP per battle = +30 FP plus 30 FP for letting opponent select map terrain = +60 FP.

Roman 24BC-99AD attacks Sardinia et Sicilia. +70 FP. kronenblatt as opponent.

2. Aetius (Romans 105-25 BC) attacks Thracia with Doyley50 as opponent.

3. Aetius (Romans 105-25 BC) Pannonia with Kronenblatt as opponent.



All can choose the terrain, and +30 each for virtus, means 1660 vs 1600 for each battle. Am I right?...^^ If so, let the battles commence!

1640 vs 1600. +90 for Virtus divided by 3 battles, +30 for allowing opponent to select terrain, and then -20 as time decay per battle. 90/3 + 30 - 20 = 40. Thus:

1. Romans 105-25 BC attacks Mauretania. +40 FP. deeter as opponent.
2. Romans 105-25 BC attacks Thracia. +40 FP. Doyley50 as opponent.
3.Romans 105-25 BC attacks Pannonia. +40 FP. kronenblatt as opponent.
