Ya, it's not easy to add the seige points. Remove all troops and leaders from the spot. Then hit "Shift and right mouse button" and you should be able to add a seige point. For Nero's loss of 5CUs, you have to remove 2 Roman PCs. |

Siege points increase to 2, with no Roman losses. (Although for some reason I'm having trouble increasing my siege points in Vassal.) |

And under these circumstances, I have no place to retreat to, so my remaining 5 CUs are eliminated, and Nero gets returned to his box. |

Well, that's some consolation: each side loses 2 CU's. That leaves: Nero with 5 CUs Hanno with 1 CU !!!! OK. Under these circumstances, I think there ought to be some proviso that I don't have to retreat. (But of course, Hanno does have lots of unrepresented Numidian allies. |

BUT HOLD ON FOR A SECOND. My Bad. In Post 459, I said: 2 CUs with Flaminius in Icosium (now 5 CUs) When I should have said: 2 CUs with Flaminius in Icosium (now 7 CUs) So I will get 9 cards to your 11, if you are still determined to proceed. |

Ya, I can imagine, you have lots of emotion in retirement coming up with 40 years. I retired at age 60 and I had spent 39 years in Information Technology. But it was relatively easy for me as I was leaving Kuwait and they wanted me to go to Houston. I said no and retired out of Calgary. |
| 465 | 4/7/2024 11:38:00 PM | 213-212 BC | Rome | Message |
Yes, one of the things I am really looking forward to about retiring is being able to do more on-line wargaming, and to be able to make moves more frequently! I will have been practicing law for 40 years as of the start of October, however, and the process of deciding to wrap up your longtime career has definitely been an interesting one. |

Now for the Victory Check Phase. Carthage: 4 provinces in Africa + 4 provinces in Spain = 8. Rome: 7 provinces in Italy + Sardinia, Sicily, and Syracuse = 10. So you will need to remove 2 PCs. |

These has been a remarkably long turn -- admittedly attributable to my situation at work. We started it on September 4th with Post # 293, and now we're at Post # 446, and we're still not finished yet. But it was on September 7th that our Appellate Chief was summoned away to a position at Main Justice in Washington, and I had to take over several matters that had imminent deadlines. I've actually made the decision just recently that I'm going to retire, either in late September, or maybe at the end of the year. I have discovered that I just cannot bounce back from the long stretches of really long hours the way I once did. I hope all is well with you. |

Thus, the battle odds are recalculated as follows: Flam (Rome) gets 8 (CUs) + 2 (Leader) = 10 battle cards. Hanno gets 4 (CUs) + 2 (General) + 2 (Allies) = 8 battle cards. Still, the opposing sides are pretty evenly matched. |

Hi, Dave. I think I owe you an apology -- I thought I had told you that I was going to be away on vacation from Friday, 2/16 through Thursday, 2/29 exploring Maya ruins in Central America, but now I can't find any indication that I in fact did so! Moreover, I was actually surprised at how much of that time I was completely off the grid, although perhaps I shouldn't have been. Anyway, I'm back and ready to proceed now. |
