All in good time. My goal is to stabilize a turbulent military situation first. When we get Scipio's dudes back I will have the surplus manpower for an Iberian escapade. Keeping Hannibal in Cisalpine will, as IRL, make his Gallic allies hate him as they were beginning to when he left

We could roll a die? Three possible areas right? 1-2 = Eastern Arno, 3-4 = Rubicon Detachment, 5-6 = Western Arno Detachment?

Maybe make it a bit more interesting, so that the others don't feel hard done by. Liguria and the Veneti no doubt would have raised levies to assist Hannibal, out of revenge against Rome if nothing else - they could deal with these lesser yet still significant armies?

1. It rolled a 1.

Eastern Arno, you're up! *Quickly checks to see who that is* ... Dedonus!

You've got your three legions, pitted against Hannibal's main offensive arm as he tries to drive into Italy.

He would have lost some in the first battle, and some more in the second, so let's fix his army at:

Iberian Infantry: 10,000
Gallic Mercenary Warband (Spears, light armour): 5,000
Numidian Cavalry (Light): 2,000
Libyan Cavalry (Heavy): 500
War Elephants: 23
Gallic Mercenary Archers: 2,000

Taking the centre route, driving against the Consul and his Etruscan bitch, we'll have the Veneti Army, under King Frangean MacCùga.

Veneti Spear Levy: 10,000
Veneti Sword Levy: 5,000
Veneti Light Horse: 1,500
Veneti Mob: 5,000

Annnnd, coming down on the left, we have Liguria, headed by Hannibal's lieutenant: Mago of Iberia.

Gallic Warband: 10,000
Gallic Archers: 1,000

Does this sound agreeable?

Hannibal would have gotten more Gallic reinforcements. Don't worry about Ded not having a fighting chance. Hannibal is attacking in the worst place possible. It is hilly to mountainous and the river is not diffused like it is towards the delta.

His reinforcements are engaging the Roman army elsewhere across the narrow corridor of Italy. I imagine if Hannibal gathered his army enmasse, and hit a single point - then Rome's legions would have been able to respond in kind. After the last disaster of a post-order battle, I wanted to keep things a bit broken up to aid fluency.

As the current Consul for this turn, feel free to have a hand in creating the opposing forces, and the nature of the attack in general. I'm the GM, so I'm here to step in and direct when needed, but as per the RP's rules, you're a CO-GM by default (making us cool RP consuls) for the duration of your legate's term in office. This gives you the powers mentioned over such things.

I'm retiring for tonight, so if you wish to modify the situation, you may do so with my consent.

Will see you all tomorrow.

O gracious tyra-

Ahem, I mean, so Boerd...I'll try and answer my questions with a bit of research on my own end before needing to rely on you guys for too much, I'd hate to bother with every little question I have when the internet's at my disposal on a (mostly) regular basis. If anything really glaring jumps out at me I'll shoot you the question though xD Thanks for being open to them c:

I need to word my questions better. I was trying to ask whether those additional forces (Veneti and Gallic forces) were fighting elsewhere and I was only fighting Hannibal's forces. But you answered that any ways.
