20 7/1/2026 8:18:00 AM 218 BC Carthage Message Nacho,
hello. I think you have the option to use Longus' last last movement point however you see fit.
Also, as Longus is a Consul, I am not sure that he would be allowed to leave Rome with less than the 5 CUs required as a minimum for a Consular Army.
In my opinion Longus does not "have" to continue to Falerii, and if Longus does, he must take at least 5 CUs with him.
Let me know what you think... Thanks!
19 7/1/2026 8:16:00 AM 218 BC Rome Message No sorry
