Welcome back, Hero!..

And sorry, seems I do have to ask a question after all xD I don't seem to understand the likelihood of a revolt occuring-- main portion of the military is away, and some people aren't fond of suddenly becoming Romans-- i understand that much, but I'm a horrible judge of these sorts of things xD in my mind, the worst that can happen will almost always happen.

Well it's partly on the Consuls, the GM and the players.

If you're issued an order to maintain the peace of a region, but haven't received details of what it is you're policing, then you have creative leeway. I don't know about you, but posting about how awesome my soldiers are as they politely handle drunks into the local holding cells doesn't sound like fun. No. I'd be inventing reasons for my army to have to go and deal with something big, like a slave revolt or a Socii rebellion.

However, if what you're policing has been specified, then you go along with what you're given.

I hope this went some way to clearing it up?
Right, it seems that Boerd is away for the weekend, and has left me with some vague instructions that I hope the players involved understand from previous PM communications.

I will be gone this weekend, but could you post that Hannibal aborts the East Arno assault because Byrd reinforced Ded, but the 10,000 troops in West Arno overwhelmed the paltry 1,000 Byrd left and have now established a safe crossing point. It falls on Byrd and Ded to defeat them before Hannibal can cross.


To quote him directly.

Dedonus and Byrd, do you understand what he's getting at here? And also, would you like me set the scene through the IC for you?

Any direction on where I can jump in with my legion, LancerDancer?

Yeah, he sent me something over PM giving me a choice between two things. That's apparently the result of the choice. I'm fine with you setting the scene and then we can work from there.

@AmongHeroes

I think he meant for you to join Dedonus and Byrd in repelling Hannibal's attempt to breach the line.

Post is up.

Any questions?

Also, who hasn't got something to do? Because Rome needs to start unfucking the situation in Illyria. I need a legion to go and bolster the defence efforts at Apollonia, until I can free up more men to deal with the situation permanently.

Is there a post order you would like for the Arno River battle?

I thought about it, but that worked out like a bucket of horse poop the last time I tried.

I'll let you guys decide how you want to do it, whether its collaborative, free-form or ordered.

Don't worry, if you get stuck or there is a lapse, I'll soon launch my boot up your arses. This battle needs to be resolved, one way or the other.

EDIT: I've left Dedonus in charge of the operation, as his character is of superior rank. So it might serve to speak to him first, about how the battle may proceed. I always find in this situation that it's good to establish an outline of how things will go down, but it's really up to you guys. I just want this battle fought, do whatever it takes to get it written.

If no one else objects, I'm going to go ahead and post. My idea is to have the Legio VI create a possible opening. It will be up to the other Legate to choose to exploit it, or do something else entirely.

I'm still kind of confused on as to what I should do in all this mess. Just sit back?

It seems Boerd wanted your legion in reserve, to assist either the Rubicon pass or East Arno.

So, you can either assist myself and he at the Rubicon pass, or you can mosey on to the docks, jump in a ship, and set sail for Apollonia.

Your call.

From reading the snippet from Boerd, I thought it was saying that Bryd and I needed to defeat the 10,000 man force before Hannibal arrived?

Edit: Also, I'll see what I can get up between now and the end of the weekend.

I think I might have posted too soon. From reading Lancer's post, if I understand it correctly, Mago is across the river and Hannibal is approaching. Therefore, Hannibal is still there, but he has not arrived just yet.

This is correct. The force on our side of the river needs to be defeated, before Hannibal can get his army across.
