I've ammended rules a bit - hopefully clears that up. I've added an optional section for diplomacy. which would take place in the orders phase - what do you think. I've ammended list to include Morbio.

oops my bad (well, mea culpa) - sorry for cross-post.

Cool. What happened to Fedem - did he opt out?

Yeah - too busy.

I'll play.I have IF and RoR.......put me down for whatever is open,egypt would be nice but if that slot is filled on to the next.

I've edited this to swap Morbio and Tophat around to suit both players:

Rome: Aristades
Macedonia: Tiavals
Selucids: Turk1964
Ptolemaics: Tophat
Cathage: Morbio

Ok - ready to start. I'll do the random event tomorrow, then the first order phase can begin. Remember to pm me with your email if you haven't already, to get the map. Anyone signs up now can be a active minor power.

Turn 1 Phase one

(see rules for initial deployment)

Random Event: Patriotic Surge affecting Selucids and Rome (see random event table in rules).

Phase 2 - Orders by Saturday night - Phase 3 starts on Sunday.

2 players haven't had maps yet - pm with email to get attachment.

I think there is a typographical error in the list of provinces...

It states: 30 – province – Lusitanians

Methinks it should be: 38 – province – Lusitanians

Also, is province 63 Ptolemaic or neutral?

I now have the map and am making plans... evil plans of world domination... muhahahah

Ptol. Egypt: Ptolemaic Successor for first 4 turns then Later Ptolemaic (Greek). Later Ptolemaic (Roman) available after a Later Ptolemaic (Greek) has fought Romans.
Selucids:Selucids Successor for first 4 turns, then LaterSelucids (pre 166BC)
Macedonians: Macedonian Successor for first four turns, then Later Macedonian
Cathage: Later Cathaginian (post-235), except in Italy where Later Cathagian (in Italy) is used and in Africa where later Cathaginian (in Africa) is used.

Can you add this to the rules post? Makes it easier to read if it is all in one place

Also, a clarification of the Carthage armies....
- Is 'In Italy' provinces 44 - 49 or does that include 50 and 51 which I believe are classed as Italy in the modern world?
- Is 'In Africa' any province in Africa as we know it today... and does this include province 20, which is in both Africa and Asia?

Finally, clarification of land attacks vs sea attacks.... Are any or all of the following classed as land attacks due to the short distance of sea?
- 33 to 34
- 48 to 50
- 9 to 63
- 11 to 63
- Any other?

Good points, Morbio. Added to rules.

egypts orders in.

Seleicids orders have been despatched.

We wait on Rome. Morbio - I emailed you a query on your orders - but will accept them unchanged unless I hear from you. I'll give Aristades till the end of the day. In future, could players specify the (defensive) location of their war leader if not leading an attack?

Apologies all - assumed everyone would be with their families etc. over the Easter weekend. Orders sent.

217BC Battles - A nice quiet first turn (with Rome, Pella amd Athens all under attack) - pm me with results as soon as possible
