Current Map: Available Forces: Romans: 5 Auxilia, 1 Fort, 5 Allies, Winter Campaign Arverni: 5 Warbands, 5 Allies, 3 Citadels, Aquitani Aedui: 0 Warbands, 3 Allies, 1 Citadel, Baggage Trains Belgae: 7 Warbands, 3 Allies, 1 Citadel Germanic: 11 Warbands, 2 Allies Victory Conditions: Romans: 11 Subdued/Dispersed/Allied (16+ Needed) Arverni: 5 Off-Map Legions (7+ Needed) and 5 Allies (9+ Needed) Aedui: 4 Allies (Belgae have 7 Allies) Belgae: 12 Control/Allies (16+ Needed) Current Card: Drought Card 35/64 Unshaded: Each Faction drops to half its current resources (rounded down). Place 1 Devastated marker. Each Faction then removes 1 of its pieces from Devastated Region (Legions to Fallen, German Warbands before German Allied Tribes). Next Card: Land of Mist and Mystery Card 36/64 Unshaded: A non-German Faction may free March into Britannia, add any free Special Ability there, then - if in Britannia - add +4 resources. Shaded: Remove an Ally or Dispersed from Britannia, and place any 1 Gallic Ally and up to 4 Warbands there. Historian Arther Ferrill in "Rome's British Mistake" calls Caesar's first foray into Britannia "one of the most romantic military forays in history"; he argues that Rome's interest in Britannia was more emotional than material - and folly over the long run. (One suspects also that not all Caesar.s thrusts into Germania were as much militarily necessary as politically showy). As for the Gauls, Caesar ascribed some authority to the place in the belief that institution of Druidic justice "was discovered in Britain and transferred to Gaul... Those that want to understand these matters in more detail usually travel to Britain to learn about them". But Britannia at the time of the Gallic revolt was important to trade both to Gaul and Rome, particularly for raw materials such as tin. Many Celtic tribes held territories on both sides of the Channel, which at the time was more link than divide. The Belgae looked to Britannia as harbor for fugitive chieftains. Certainly, the Britons of the day showed determination in defending what was theirs. Nevertheless, either Rome or the Gauls might profitably have sustained new footholds on the island during Caesar's time. Situation: The Romans, strong-arming valuable grain, refrain from an outright dispersal of the Helvetii. Caesar sees this as enough of an incentive to prevent them from taking up arms against Rome, but will it be enough? Action Queue: -- homullus: 1st Eligible

Situation: Attacking the unprotected tribes in Britannia and the Mandubii, warfare by the Aedui is sufficient to force those tribes to relent, while an Arverni warband in the lands of the Veneti is also forced out.

Shaded: If a Legion where your Citadel, remove the Legion and Romans Ineligible through next card. Caesar emphasises the fierce vengeance of his troops after they finally prevailed in the hard-fought siege of Avaricum. "They were so severely provoked by the massacre at Cenabum and the effort that they had put into the siege that they spared neither the elderly, nor the women, nor even the little children. In the end, of a total number of about 40,000, barely 800 reached Vercingentorix safely..." Action Queue: -- Gutter Owl: 1st Eligible

You can't march into Sugambri. You crossed the rhine.

Guys I apologise but this might need to go into hiatus for the time being. The computer where I had the files doesn't work and I don't have the time to get it repaired in the next week or so, so I'll need to see what happens and if my computer can be fixed. Sorry!
