478 8/22/2023 11:45:00 PM 203-201 BC Carthage Message It was worse than that for you. I had Storms, Epidemic, Pestilence and another Campaign Card to bring Hasdrubal or Mago back to Africa, as well as Capua, Sicilia and Guides.

That gave me 10 Campaigns to your 3 as well as the 3-0 in Messengers.

I will Report the Result to Jeff,

thanks, Randy

Carthage 5th Card:

PC Salamantica CE

My fine print map can be hard to read, it is Dianium and it's farther along the coast than I thought.
399 8/16/2023 1:23:00 AM 206-204 BC Carthage Message Yes I agree that is fine, and the siege was successful of course.

Oranium OR is a dreadful bottleneck, blocked at either end by Cities. I believe it may be isolated from the inland by the Sierra Nevada.
398 8/16/2023 1:15:00 AM 206-204 BC Rome Message Ugh, you're right. I was playing too fast and for some dumb reason had Hasdrubal in Dianium, although you were very clear he should be in Laminium.

I would like to redo my route through Azaila and pick up the CU there instead of Iberus to avoid the intercept opportunity if you will allow it. Agree, this would leave both Pro-Consuls and 17CU in Saguntum, 1CU in Iberus.
397 8/16/2023 12:57:00 AM 206-204 BC Carthage Message I believe I should have been offered an Interception attempt into Segobriga CE.

If you did not realize there was an opportunity than the pick-up in Azaila would be fine, leaving 1 in Ilberus and just 17 in Saguntum after the total loss of 3 in Spain.
396 8/16/2023 12:46:00 AM 206-204 BC Rome Message My mistake in #391 is that I should have said 'drop 2 in Segobriga' (I mistakenly said pick up, but there were never any CUs there to pick up).

Marcellus had 8 when leaving Ilerda, picked up 1 in Iberus (now at 9), moved to Segobriga (through Bilbilis which is only way to get there and make it all the way to Saguntum) and drop 2 at Segobriga (now Marcellus at 7).

Then Marcellus ends at Saguntum with 7, plus the 9 from Scipio A makes a total of 16. After the siege roll loss there are 15 there, 2 in Segobriga and 1 in Azalea.
395 8/16/2023 12:09:00 AM 206-204 BC Carthage Message I do not understand Message #391.

Segobriga is in Celtiberia and do you mean pick up 1 in Azaila ID?

After the Re-Cap in Message 345 and Reinforcements in Message 348 you had 1 alone in Ilberus and Marcellus +10 in Ilerda and Africanus +10 in Tarraco, for 21 Total CUs

In Message 357 you left the 1 in Ilberus, Marcellus with 8, dropped 1 in Azaila to end Africanus +11 in Dertosa, still 21 total.

In Message 364, Africanus shuffled the 11 from Dertosa to Saguntum.

In the Battle (#390) Africanus lost 2, to end +9.

Now in Message 391 Marcellus has been Activated, picking up the 1 in Ilberus (and the 1 in Azaila?) which would allow him to end with Africanus under his Command + 19 CU, and then the Siege Result losing 1, 18 of the original 21 remaining.

However if you meant to not pick up the 1 Azaila and instead drop 2 (and not pick up 2 in Segobriga) then Marcellus would have had to have moved thru Bilbilis (not indicated and where he would have had to end with Bad Weather)) to reach Saguntum and Hasdrubal would have had an Interception opportunity from Lamnium.

But after the siege loss you have Marcellus +Africanus remaining in Saguntum +15, so with a possible +2 in Saguntum and +1 in Azaila?


394 8/15/2023 206-204 BC Rome Message lose 1 CU (to 15), but flip Saguntum
