My Dear Tullius: A frightful alliance has formed between a criminal band of sardine thieves, Corsican marketeers, and Nugarian tribesmen. The thieves are a motley bunch of escaped slaves and criminals who have plundered the local sardine fishermen and wine growers. They intend to sell their loot to Corsican crooks, who are agents of Senator Keyth. Keyth is notoriously corrupt and his interests in the black market and contraband sardines are practically limitless. Your task is to lead a small expedition to exterminate these pests. Sardinia, as you know, is not heavily garrisoned. Only a small number of Roman troops are available for this police operation, perhaps 2000. Half of these chaps are penal legionaries, a nasty bunch of eye-gougers and not very reliable. You may have to crucify one or two en route to show them who's boss. But you'll make do, right? Of course you will! There's the spirit. You'll have a few local auxiliaries too. They're quite helpful in rough terrain but for Jupiter's sake stay upwind of them. Find these criminals and kill them all, Tullius old boy. Nothing puts the mark of authority on a new Governor like a solid massacre. Gets you noticed by the right sort of people. A great boost to your career. Lots of points! Don't forget to massacre the Hapless Women and Children too; they'll be plainly marked. Have at them all good and strong. And do make sure to destroy all the wine and sardines as well. That'll be spit in the eye of old Keyth! One word of warning: the Nugarian tribesmen are expanding from their inland fastnesses and appear to have an alliance developing with these scum. So beware ambush!

Then again, if there have been deductions from the Agenda already, and I got points elsewhere(I didn't check the point tally in too much detail), I guess it might be correct and it's rude of me to try to correct.

There are have been disturbances in Sardinia. You might wish to resolve these before the tournament takes its brief hiatus. Details have been PM'd to you but it involves a custom scenario and here is the scenario introduction, written by Senator Adiposus, candidly pictured below. He likes the cut of your jib and feels you may have a large future if your governorship goes well. He's an arch-enemy of Senator Keyth, and seems peculiarly knowledgeable of the Sardinian situation...
