To go quickly is foolish. To go slowly is prudent. Not to go; that is wisdom.
I just want to point out how much of a bad idea is to let Romans build Walled Cities.

So, if I understand correctly:

- Romans can't act on the next turn unless they burn a Desperation card. This includes advancing the Siege in Tarquini.
- Punching the Gauls in Sentinum won't let me claim Sena Galicia, because Sentinum is a Gaul space for all intents and purposes.
- I don't lose any VP for having Tarquini under Siege, but I will lose 1 reinforcement.

Also, what will happen if I attack Praeneste (which currently has no leader, just 1 CU)?

The Romans do not have a card to play next action round, yes. However, if there are still 3CUs in Tarquini after the Attrition phase, they will get a roll on the siege table during the Surrender phase.

You would not be able to take control of Sena Galica for political consequences for winning a combat in Sentinum. However, Sentinum is independent, so it is also considered hostile to the Gauls. So they have to roll on the attrition table during the attrition phase, for instance.

Yes, you will not lose any VP for Tarquini, but will lose the reinforcement CU if it is still under siege during the Scoring phase.

If you moved into Praeneste, the Romans would have a chance to intercept with Valerius from Roma. They could not attempt to avoid battle as there is no leader.

Sorry, I was in a car accident this weekend. It was nothing serious but had to go to the hospital to run some tests. I'll post as soon as I have a chance to grok the board.

Per PM, Romans attempt to intercept with Valerius's army in Roma.

Interception roll: 4

Interception attempt is unsuccessful. Samnite Minor Leader-A and 5CUs attacks 1 Roman CU.

Samnites have +12 drm for force ration and +2 drm for superior leadership, for a total drm of +14.

Romans have +1 drm for fighting in a friendly space.

Samnite combat roll: 6,5,1 = 12 + 14 = 26

Roman combat roll: 6,1,3 = 10 + 1 = 11

Samnites win the battle and lose 1CU. Romans lose 1CU.

Samnites may add/remove 1 support for political consequences.
