Thanks for the links on Cosa, very interesting. Regarding the probes and DEs I had in the First battle of Cosa, I had several Probes but think I only had 1 DE but not sure. |

By the way -- do you recall how many Probes and DE's you had in your hand during the 1st Battle of Cosa, at the time I broke off the action? And if you're interested in the site of our two conflicts, there's a remarkably detained Wikipedia article about its history and archaeology, and another site about the excavations there that has some stunning photography: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosa http://www.cosaexcavations.org/ Presumably, our combats would have been fought in that coastal plain that you see stretching south from the ruins of the Capitolinum in the third photo of the slideshow of that second link. |

Both armies lose 2CUs to battle attrition. Varro then loses 3 more CUs for retreat. Then Varro and the troops need to go to Faesulae and lose 2CUs there. Then stop at Falerii. So Hannibal now has 8CUs at Cosa. Varro, Nero and 8 CUs are at Falerii A total of 7CUs were lost so need to remove 3 PCs. |

For MP 2, Hannibal, Hasdrubal, and their army of 10 CUs in Tarquini will turn north up the coast and make another attack upon the Roman position outside of Cosa. There's little mystery as to whom you will designate as your commander, I think, but that decision should be formally made by you. I think you can then make the Change-of-Command roll. I will not play a battle-related strategy card; you may announce any cards of your own; and then you can calculate how many BCs each side gets in light of that and deal the cards. |

No interception this time. Hannibal can continue. Don't rush our game, just do it when you can, no pressure. It's no fun if you feel you need to do it. |

#7: 1 / Hostile Tribes (Both) Play whenever an opposing army occupies (or enters) space in Gallia Transalpinia or Liguria. The Army immediately undergoes Attrition on the 5-6 column. Message from Carthage: A couple of work projects that need to be done by the end of next week have been distracting me, but I'll try to keep things moving forward. This certainly is an interesting strategic situation we have here! Hannibal and Hasdrubal will leave 1 CU behind in Faesulae and will then match initially to Tarquini again. Will you attempt an interception? |

I see now that you're right about the Retreat path. I had read Rule 15.3 very carefully, and was somewhat surprised to see that it didn't include a requirement that the attacker must initially retreat to the space from which he entered the battle space. Now, however, I see that it's under (b) in Rule 15.2. That whole battle played out under an unlucky star for the Carthaginians. Also, you're right about Tolosa -- I'm playing the Romans in another game. So let's remove a PC from Salmantica instead. |

Hannibal actually loses 1CU for having to retreat through Tarquini so there are 11 CUs at Faesulae, not 12. |

Because of the -2 DRM, 2 CUs are lost in the retreat; unfortunately, one has to be my remaining CU-e. Hannibal and his army (now 8 CUs) will return to Faesulae to rejoin Hasdrubal and his 4 CUs. I will remove a PC at Tolosa. |

Did the 1CU that was with Mago sail with him? |

Actually for battle attrition, we had 6 rounds and I rolled a '3' so look on the '5/6' column and die roll of 3 and it should say 1CU lost. So Hannibal has 8CU +1e. |

P.S. Since I had 9 CUs and 1 CU-e at the start of the Battle of Faesulae, and you rolled a 3 for Attrition, we each would have lost 2 CUs. So I have reduced my force at Faesulae to 8 CUs & 1 CU-e. |

Back to the game, I was not expecting to lose my total army of 20CUs. With so many cards and having more than Hannibal, I thought that Hannibal may win the battle, and I may lose 5-7 CUs with attrition and retreat that that Hannibal would lose 2-3. You must of had many DEs and Reserves to push the DE. |

Jeff, thanks for the historical information, I really enjoy learning it. I came from a background of playing games and I'm learning history through playing wargames. After playing Hannibal, I've read one book about the life of Hannibal (many years ago, probably should read again). |

I note, though, that Fortune gave you a pretty good compensation in having that Truce card in your hand at that particular moment! |
