Shaded: Roman Leader (if on map) to Provincia. Romans Ineligible through next card. Executing Faction Eligible. Next Card: Gallia Togata Card 31/64 Unshaded: Place Gallia Togata marker and 3 Auxilia in Cisalpina. It is a Supply Line region where only Romans may stack. March out costs 0 and each recruit places 2 Auxilia. Shaded: Unless Senate in Adulation, Romans remove 1 Legion to track and 2 Auxilia to Available. Caesar was able to grow his forces to replace losses in the Gallic wars with emergency levies in the province of Cisalpine Gaul (northern Italy), where he was governor.The province did require legionary garrisons, however, against ongoing incursions by Illyrian brigands or other barbarians and - perhaps - unrest due to Roman war-weariness or in reaction to the building anarchy in Rome. Caesar sent Legio XV there in 51 BC, at least ostensibly for that reason. Situation: As a sort of announcement of his campaign, Caesar sends out his Auxilia to scout out the Arverni warbands in the lands of the Sequani, scattering them to the winds. Fortunately, the Belgae are willing the screen the retreat of the warbands north, although many casualties are still suffered by the Arverni in the attack. Action Queue: -- homullus: 2nd Eligible

In general, winter northern climes such as Gaul was time for ancient armies to hunker in their camps and tribal homes. That practical habit by the same token created opportunies - if the hardships could be mastered - to get a jump on an opponent. Ambiorix and Caesar each surprised their enemies by launching a new year's campaign early. Situation: Agents of the Aedui make a landing on the shore of Brittania, keen to remove Belgae influence among the Catuvellaunt, a current ally of the Belgae. Action Queue: -- COOL CORN: 1st Eligible

Next Card: Roman Wine Card 33/64 Unshaded: Remove either up to any 4 Allied Tribes (not Citadels) under Roman Control or up to 2 adjacent to Roman Control. Shaded: Remove 1-3 Roman or Aedui Allies (not Citadels) total from Roman-Aedui Supply Lines. Caesar comments frequently on the idea that trade in the civilised products of Rome made tribes less warlike. On the Nervii: "they permitted no merchants within their borders; they did not allow the import of wine and other luxury goods, because they believed such things enfeebled their spirit and weakened their courage". On the Suebi: "most aggressive of all the German peoples...they forbid the import of wine altogether, believing that it makes men weak and womanish in their capacity for exertion." Whether to weaken warriors' fighting spirit or simply to bribe them, the Romans could introduce wine and other Roman goods, along with public works, as a softer side of their pacification of restive tribes. Situation: With the Romans and Caesar still not having properly set out from the South, Ambiorix sees this as yet another opportunity to rally the Belgae under his banner, finally getting the once dispersed tribes of the Nervii to follow him, as well as raising more warbands in the lands of the Morini.

In the years past, he had to return his troops to Provincia, but it seems likely that this time, there will be enough grain to winter within Gaul itself. Action Queue: -- homullus: 2nd Eligible

The Romans and Gauls both demanded hostages (often leading citizens' children) as guarantees of good behaviour - not only from subdued enemies but also among allies about to go to war together. Caesar on campaign appears to have done so as a matter of routine and guarded and moved his Gallic hostages as he did his baggage, grain and war chest. Vercingetorix did the same at his assembly unifying the Gauls - including the Aedui - into the Great Revolt. Over time and in context of general uprising of one culture against another, however, such practice can only have bred resentment at continued domination. Indeed, on both sides, the line between a hostage and an allied contingent was sometimes rather vague! Action Queue: -- homullus: 1st Eligible

Throughout the Gallic wars, the key logistical limit was grain to feed the armies. Even the Romans' organisational prowess could not bring all that was needed from home: the harvest of local crops was essential. In 54 BC, drought struck Gal and grain became sparse. The military imperative of food shortage is clear, as it forced on the Romans a hazardous dispersal of legions across Belgica to alleviate it - a vulnerability that Ambiorix exploited in his winter uprising. Situation: The Belgic tribes raid far and wide in search for grain, mostly targeting unaligned tribes or traders rather than attack any Gauls that swear allegiance to Vercingetorix.
