Thanks for the nudge. I'll use the third move to activate Nero, who will sail with 6 CUs from Rome to Tarraco, absent any untoward events. He will then: - drop 1 CU at Tarraco - move with 5 CUs to Ilerda, chase Hasdrubal back to his box on the board, and drop 1 CU there - then move with 4 CUs to Dertosa, and drop 1 CU there - and finally move with 3 CUs to Azaila |

Jeff, Han used his special talents to use the Probe card as a Flank Left, so Fabius has to counter a Flank Left, not a Probe. |

So, as I calculate it: Rome = 10 (CUs) + 3 (Fabius) + 2 (Allies) = 15 cards Carthage = 8 (CUs) + 4 (Hannibal) + 1 (allies) - 1 (failed AB) = 12 cards |

You're right -- I'm forgetting which generals are with which forces. That was Africanus's army, so he gets the lesser laurel wreath for that engagement. Campaign Card Move 2: Fabius/Marcellus move with 10 CUs from Praeneste as follows: MP 1: Terventum MP 2: Beneventum (option to attempt interception from Heraclea) MP 3: Heraclea (option to attempt interception from Bruttium, or to attempt to avoid battle) Any MP 4 by me must await events. |
617 | 1/23/2025 3:21:00 AM | 211-210 BC | Carthage | Message |
Han and his 8CUs will retreat to Heraclea Remove PC at Vescera in Africa. Note that in your last message, you mentioned that Fabius was in command but in your move and battle, it was always Africanus that was moved and battled. On to part 2 of your Major Campaign. |
616 | 1/22/2025 11:33:00 PM | 211-210 BC | Rome | Message |
OMG! All that effort, for such a meager result! Carthage loses 2 CUs. I assume you will retreat to Heraclea, but I'll await your confirmation on that. You must also lose 1 PC. And I was mistaken, on several occasions, in referring to the Roman force as being commanded by Scipio. He's actually still back in Rome. The victorious general was instead Fabius. Once you settle your retreat and PC loss, we'll proceed to the second move of my Campaign card. |

Yes, that was an interesting battle sequence. In a change from our earlier battles, I was blessed with 3 of the 4 Reserve cards -- previously, notably in one of our critical battles in Mauretania, I think I had just 1. I had a heavy hand of FAs, several RFs, and then only 1 DE, which was a tip-off that you probably held 2-4. |
611 | 1/22/2025 1:32:00 AM | 211-210 BC | Carthage | Message |
I had 4 DE and 4 Probe but no Reserve, so figured my only hope was to try DEs and hope I get init enough times AND you didn’t have many Reserves. |

My apologies for keeping you in suspense for so long! I've had a succession of work-related deadlines since the start of the year, followed by a trip to New York this past weekend for my son's and his fiance's engagement party, where we got to meet many of their friends and more of his fiance's family. I also took the better part of a day to drive down to Washington to pay my last respects to President Carter at the Capitol. We have a battle at Beneventum (I can't recall whether there were any in that neighborhood or not during the real event). I see the card totals as follows: Rome: 10 (for CUs) +4 (Scipio) +2 (allies) = 16 Carthage: 10 (for CUs) +4 (Hannibal) +1 (allies) + 1 (successful interception) = 16 So I think we're even; let me know if you see it differently. I will not play a Combat card; will you? |

Okay. After a wonderful holiday in which we were joined by my son, his fiance', my sister-in-law, and two additional dogs, all the guests have returned home. One thing is for sure: the house is a lot quieter now! I hope you had a good holiday as well. I just want to check to confirm that our boards match. I show you as having the following: Beneventum - Gisgo +1 CU Bruttium: Mago + 3 CUs Heraclea: Hannibal + 9 CUs Croton: 1 CU Thus, an overall total of 14 Carthaginian CUs in southern Italy. |

The last week has been pretty crazy, but with a mix of both work and social activities, for a change. Besides getting an appellate brief filed on the 10th, I had two parties and two dinners to attend, along with a concert to go to with my daughter. And then I had to scurry home on Friday so we could snatch up a Christmas tree before nothing but runts were left! And there's still some presents to buy and holiday cards to send out. I hope you're having an enjoyable holiday season, but hopefully less frenetic than my last week was. Also, thanks for reaching out to me on Facebook! I notice that you and your wife celebrated your 50th wedding anniversary this year. Hear, hear! Warm congratulations on your Golden Anniversary! |

Oops -- I was still trying to organize the balloting for the election when I must have accidentally struck "Enter"! Blame it on the pneumonia. Let's try that again. Tribes in the Campus Martius: please don't rush the gates again prematurely! |

I'll move through this sequence as set forth in Rule 6. First, per Rule 6.2, place 5 CUs in Rome. Next, per Rule 6.4.1, designate Marcellus as a proconsul again. Per Rule 6.4.2. remove Longus, and hold a consular election. |
