561 4/15/2024 11:41:00 PM 203-201 BC Rome Message Thank you!

I did have a Diplomacy card, but only a single 3 to try and move Nero back to Sardinia/Corsica (still afraid of all the bad weather you have been able to give!)

Good Luck on your next game as well! I will send the e-mail, copying you
560 4/15/2024 11:38:00 PM 203-201 BC Carthage Message should add--almost all of my cards are Roman
559 4/15/2024 11:38:00 PM 203-201 BC Rome Message Both lose 2 CU's in battle (Scipio now 9 CU's)
Hasdrubal loses 3 more in the retreat, now 5 Cu's
Has to retreat to Acci
Carthage to remove 2 PC's
558 4/15/2024 11:37:00 PM 203-201 BC Carthage Message I will surrender with that--no need to keep you in suspense until the end when victory is totally out of reach

I have had poor draws all game long, but this deal was the worst--with 6 "1" cards, two "2" cards and one "3" -- not a single one which flips a PC or helps do anything to regain a province

Congratulations on good play; best wishes for next game

516 4/15/2024 10:50:00 PM 203-201 BC Carthage Message Mago to Carthage
1 CU to Carthage (1,1e)
2 CU to Saguntum (5) with Gisgo
515 4/15/2024 10:44:00 PM 203-201 BC Rome Message This sounds good. Hopefully the draw when already holding 3 cards will just be to 9 cards!

Go ahead with your reinforcements and we can try this shortly
514 4/15/2024 10:01:00 PM 203-201 BC Carthage Message perhaps even easier, if this will work: if 2nd player discard of random card is one of the three passed from first player, go into discard pile and recover, then discard again
513 4/15/2024 9:58:00 PM 203-201 BC Carthage Message Never thought about this -- great point. Perhaps we could:
1. One player draws his hand--gets 9 of the 12 cards from the deck, then then before 2nd player draws, sends three random cards to opponent. Will be known by both players anyway
2. Hopefully 2nd player now has three cards of the 12 before drawing; then draws
a. If 2nd player now has only 9 cards, great! Will have 6 from the 12 plus three from the shuffle
b. If 2nd player has 12 cards, then discards three random cards. If any of those randoms are from the three cards passed from first player, then consider that card still in the hand and notify other player. This "virtual" card is to be played just by noting in a message. Then player must discard another random card to replace the "virtual card" remaining in the hand.
3. First player draws three extra cards.
512 4/15/2024 1:18:00 AM 203-201 BC Rome Message and I don't know what will happen if we draw an extra card until the deck runs out, then attempt to replenish our hand (which will hopefully shuffle all the cards back into the deck?)
511 4/15/2024 1:16:00 AM 203-201 BC Rome Message Not sure about drawing here.
whomever draws first will take all 9 of their cards from the current deck, while whomever draws second will only get 3 from the current deck. This seems unfair, as the second player will know exactly what cards the first player has, while the first player won't be able to get cards like Messenger intercepted or Syracuse, and will only know 3 of the cards the second player has. Should we draw 1 at a time each, until the deck is replenished? When I play in person we deal 1 card from the deck to each hand before we reshuffle the deck , but I don't think that is what will happen here
510 4/14/2024 11:10:00 PM 206-204 BC Rome End Turn

(Rome) Carthaginian CUs are prohibited from leaving Africa until the Strategy Deck is reshuffled.

Message from Rome:
Sigh! I should take the auto province with this, but I will probably lose my siege points if I do so.

I will activate Scipio, leave 4 CU's to maintain the siege, and move over to pick up Paulus and his 4 CU's, come back to New Carthage and siege to hopefully capture the city
