The Samnites had put Rome under siege previously; they started in Rome. |

The Samnites walked through Rome to get to Caere, right? My map shows Maximus and 2 CUs in Rome who could sacrifice themselves to stop the Samnites |

Thanks for the offer to join Successors. I'm interested, but going through a busy period this month and next so I wouldn't be able to join now unfortunately. Rod, how would the Romans stop movement into Caere short of some card play? The force at Tarquinii is locked into combat with the Etruscans. |

Thanks guys, though I would've preferred to keep playing. Also, I realize this is too late, but Rome had the opportunity to stop the flanking force before it reached Caere. I have to wonder if we would still be playing if Rome didn't just lose his entire force. If anyone wants to start another game of Sword, I'm in. Thanks everyone for the game. |

I am going to get into a game of Successors on the BGG group. Not sure if any of you would be interested in that. Chawn Harlow has a game posted on the June BGG list. Still looking for a couple others if you are interested. |

All, thanks for the game and for sticking out so long. I'm ready to stop here and declare the Gauls winners. The Romans are a very resilient faction, but it would take a lot to recover from where they are now; the Greeks have been pushed back against the Carthaginians for a long time to come; and I don't see the fragile Etruscans being able to fight on two fronts in this game. Well-played Rod and especially for doing so with the Gauls, which can be a very tricky faction to play! |

Etruscan army will engage the Romans at Tarquinii with 1 CU coming out of Tarquinii. I have 9 Etruscan CUs vs 10 Roman CUs Next, continuing with second campaign activation. Samnite ML-A with 10 CUs to Caere will flank the Romans at Tarquinii. This gives +5 CUs to a net 14 E/S CUs vs 10 Roman CUs. |

You roll a modified 20? I rolled a 15. Doesn't this wipe out my army? You win, I lose. You rolled two 6s and a 5 for 6 total CU loss for me. I only have 5 CU there in the first place. I think I inflict another loss on myself, and then 1 loss for you. |

I actually cannot intercept; my leader is not skilled enough. (interception adjusted by -1 for hostile territory) I assume those Hoplites will come out now? |
| 342 | 4/16/2020 4:19:00 PM | 361-348 BC | Greek | Message |
I believe this sets up a combat (siege relief) with the Gauls. I posted a file. I think that the army differential provides +3 drm to Gauls. I would get +3 for leader superiority and +1 for fighting in a home space. I actually think that the besieging army could attempt an intercept on a roll of 1. Is that something you'd like to do? We can also play combat cards. But I'll wait for intercept decision. |

| 313 | 3/11/2020 2:53:00 PM | 361-348 BC | Gaul | Message |
ok, I see the problem and now I think I understand this cryptic message: "My apologies, but I didn't start the log file, and don't to replay it." When I load your log as a continuation, what you type shows up, but there is no action on the board, so it still shows 10 CUs in Syracuse. But, if I load your log as a game (from an unopened game state), then your action logs clearly. That said, had I known there were 14 CUs in Syracuse, I would not have had the Carthaginians attack at all. So, I will retract the Neutral Power Activates if that's ok with everyone. You can take your Hoplites back in hand as well. |

Yes, a Neutral Power Activates is a 3-op for the neutral if played as the event. It's a 2-op if played for ops. The card text is clearer: "Play during your action phase, place marker. Activate Carthage or the Volsci with a 3-value action if they have not been activated this round." This is how one can raise a troop for the neutral (as if a 3-op). So, other than getting the leaders mixed up, Hamilcar is attacking with 10 CUs |
