I select to attack Roman, if that is ok

280 BC sees the following wars
1st Seleucid/Roman war
1st N Pontic/Gallic war
remember very large forces and very wide maps

I choose mountains

Good luck!

Consul MikeC is happy to report to the Senate the the invading Seleucid forces were repelled with heavy losses. Final score was 43-14 for our glorious Legions. I am sure a special dispensation to extend my Consulship for another year will be forthcoming shortly.

How far are the wars between S Pontic/Thrace and N Pontic/Gallic ? Please report.

N Pontic/Gaul battle well underway but still undecided. I'm out of town with family until the 24th so we're on hold til then.

N Pontus has fallen to Gaul. General klayeckles fought a patient and smart fight and turned my plans to cinder. It was well done, 53/22.

Ironclad and Schmolywar your battling empires S Pontic and Thrace are the last to let us know it's result, report please.

gauls got some luck in their favor in the early cavalry battles, and that led numerical advantage on the flanks...a good thing for the gauls! GG and lots of fun.

Oops sorry missed following this up after the war declaration. Fortunately I play very quickly so if my opponent can do likewise we won't slow things too badly.

My terrain choice is agricultural.

Hi Schmolywar, if you can let me have your terrain choice we can get this late battle going.

With this war being the last of 280 BC and not started while all other wars are over I decide it is a draw. Neither of you gain or lose a province in this 1st S Pontic/Thrace war.

Wars fought in 280BC
1st S Pontic/Thrace draw
1st S Pontic/Illyria 0-1
1st Greek/Macedon 0-1
1st Seleucid/Rome 0-1
1st N Pontic/Gallic 0-1
Results at start of 279 BC
1 S Pontic 281 3 provinces
2 Greek 280 4 provinces
3 Illyrian 350 4 provinces (minor)
4 Seleucid 5 provinces
5 N Pontic 281 5 provinces
6 Thracian 350 8 provinces
7 Roman 280 9 provinces
8 Macedonian 320 9 provinces
9 Gallic 9 provinces
So we start with S Pontic deciding who and where (terrain) to fight

Thanks Hendricus for the opportunity. I've decided to withdraw so my temporary stewardship of S. Pontic is now at an end.

S Pontic becomes a minor power too, so now Greek can decide for the next war.

In which case....Greece will attack Illyria and attempt to regain some honour....

Illyria is a sideshow, so you have to name a major war. Please name the terrain you want to fight over.
