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.

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

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.

Etruscan Army advances to the vacated hex.

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

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.

2nd Roman Army (II) tries to move back to Clusium.

Terrain: hills >2
Modifiers to dice roll: By road +1, army weakened -1.

Roll dice: 4

Army II arrives and takes rest in Clusium.

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.

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

Romans: Does Roman Army II attack Etruscan Army I?

We stay behind our walls calmly.The Roman Army II does not attack.

Does the Etruscuan Army try to keep moving or instead initiates attack?
