Gonna play Bomilcar Withdraws for 2 Ops to activate Dionysius and roll on the siege table for Capua. Should be it for my turn I believe. Sorry about the delay yall, I must have unbookmarked this thread. I'll be more prompt in the future.

Siege roll: 4,2

You will take the city of Capua and lose 1CU, if you'd like to do anything else. I'll do a more complete update later.

As a reminder, this is the start of Action Round 2, so the Neutral Powers may be activated again.

I think we're all new and confused, so flailing around ineffectively is par for the course. What happens if we all end with negative points from the Neutral powers, Taran_Wanderer? :ohdear:

Anyway, I suggest you keep on punching the Gauls and the Greeks and leave the friendly Samnites and Etruscans alone.

Too Far From Home is a 1Op card, so Minor Leader-B only has 3MP, and he has to spend 2MP to go across the rough terrain between Luna and Parma.

If the Gauls do attack the T-Gauls, Etruscan/Samnites will get to make decisions for them, including whether to avoid battle and what happens if they win a battle.

Gauls combat roll: 1,4,5 = 10 + 3 = 13

T-Gauls combat roll: 1,2,2 = 5

Gauls win the battle. T-Gaul army is eliminated. Gauls may add/remove 2 support as political consequences for winning the battle. As a reminder, Gauls may choose to receive Plunder instead of adding/removing support for political consequences.

PMed this in but will post it here as well

Use Siege Towers for 3 Ops, activating Minor Leader A on Tarentum and 4 CU and they will naval movement to Syracuse. That will put Minor Leader A, Minor Leader B, and 5 CU on Syracuse.
Move Minor Leader A back to Tarentum since it doesn't make since to have two Minor Leaders in the same spot, and he'll join the 1 remaining CU there.

Done.

Raiding is only 1MP, but it looks like you did the math right, despite posting 2MP. I also assume Minor Leader-A is moving with all 4CU.

Siege table roll for raid: 2,1

Minor Leader-A's army loses a CU and is unsuccessful.

Siege table roll for raid: 6,1

Minor Leader-A's army loses a CU and is successful. Gauls gain a plunder and an independent PC marker is placed in Sentinum.

I'll do a proper update later, but Etruscan/Samnites may take his turn now, if he would like.

Ok I just want to make sure I understand everything so bear with me.

I can attempt to intercept. If successful I get +1 to my battle roll. If I fail, I can't attempt to avoid battle.

I can attempt to avoid battle. If I fail I get a -1 to my roll. If I succeed then, well, I avoid battle by moving those units away.

The guys I hide in he city (up to a commander and 3 cu?) can sortie and attack the folks in my space when activated but can't leave as long as the city has enemy CU outside of it. They wouldn't do anything to prevent siege rolls though, correct? And they wouldn't participate in the battle with the units outside the wall because they are inside the wall.

Is that how all of the options work?

Sorry for being late on this, my grandpa passed Friday and it's just been a whirlwind trying to get everything figured out and the fighting amongst the family and jeez.

Yes, that's correct. CUs in the city also prevent that city's loyalty from being reduced below the number of CUs in the city, so while they do not prevent help against a siege directly, they do prevent the siege from being successful by the city's loyalty being reduced.

Sorry to hear about to your grandpa, too :(

Per PM, Greeks attempt to intercept Hamilcar in Catina with Minor Leader-B's army.

Interception roll: 2

Attempt is unsuccessful. Hamilcar's army continues on to Syracusae.

Per PM, Greek Minor Leader-B stands and fights.

In response, Romans play The Sacred Band for +2 drm to Carthaginian combat roll. Greeks play Hoplites for +2 drm to Greek combat roll.

Carthaginians have +1 drm for force ratio, +2 drm for superior leadership, and +2 drm for response card, for a total drm of +5.

Greeks have +1 drm for fighting in a friendly controlled space, and +2 drm for response card, for a total drm of +3.

Carthaginian combat roll: 3,4,6 = 13 + 5 = 18

Greek combat roll: 3,5,4 = 12 + 3 = 15

Carthaginians win the combat and lose 2CUs. Greeks lose 3CUs and must retreat. Greeks lose an additional CU from Hoplites.

Greeks please post how you would like to retreat. Minor Leader-B's army may retreat to Agrigentum, into Syracusae, or to a friendly port using Naval Movement if you discard a 3Op card.
