A wide flanking maneuver in the Roman 1 army was the clincher, routing the evil wannabe Roman army back to it's heathen lands. Amazingly, no c-in-c fell!^^ GG as usual, Kronenblatt!
My problem at the moment is that I don't have many heathen lands to rout back to anymore: only sunny and pleasant Narbonensis (VII). And not for long.

Those damned annoying Sassanids have once again brought death and destruction to our civilised land... :-(

olin0111 (Sassanid raid) defeats TomoeGozen (Romans V) . Sassanids lost a mere 10% , the Romans 41 %!

Can we buy them off....?

5A. Olin0111 defeats TomoeGozen 41-9. Decadent Palmyrans have been repelled by our forces!
5B. TomoeGozen defeats Olin0111 56-30. Filthy barbarians did it again and punched their way through Roman army into the fertile lands of Thracia!
I might consider reinstating the practice of decimation for the border legions. For now I will resort to beatings which will continue until morale improves.

MadMaxBot (Romans III 4%) Defeats Aetius39 (Goths 50%) For a successful raid defense for the province of Moesia Superior XV


An Impossible map for the Goths to fight the highly diverse Roman army. The Romans took full advantage of the terrain & mobility advantage. Had the Goths been on defense instead of offense it would have been an entirely different outcome.

Third victory in a row. Maybe a quadruple is on its way? :) (Battle 2A still unconcluded.)

Its not to be this round. olin0111 has spanked me hard for battle 2A. Its almost over should have the result today or tomorrow. At least I can start using those Elite Pretorian Guard for next rounds battles. :-)

Thanks for the game! I wasn't really sure how to crack your army open for most of the battle. But thanks to some maneuvering and good rolls the opportunities presented themselves :)

An Empire in Flames - Round III: attack declarations

Post by kronenblatt »

Round III (264 AD)

Order of attack declarations:
1. Aetius39: Apr. 17 (-4 FP adjustment).
2. MadMaxBot: Apr. 18 (-25).
3. olin0111: Apr. 19 (-36).
4. TomoeGozen: Apr. 20 (-38).

Each player shall make two attack declarations upon other players' Roman factions (see Attacks in rules):
I. One conquest attack by his Roman faction.
II. One raid attack by any non-Roman faction.

Once attack declarations have been made, battles are resolved simultaneously during a three-week period of Apr. 21 - May. 12 (see Battles in the rules), or earlier if attack declarations are concluded before Apr. 20. (If all battles have been resolved before that, round IV may commence earlier, but plan for first order of round IV's attack declarations on May. 15).

Please note that:
  • Goths and Sassanids lost raid attacks the previous round and are thus not allowed to make any raid attacks this round.
  • A number of provinces are now looted by certain non-Roman factions (see earlier post and map), with provinces looted from land raids allowing for raids deeper into the Roman empire by these factions.
  • Attack declaration shall be made in posts in this thread.
  • Rules are found in second post of this thread.
  • Date (midnight CET (Rome) time) above indicates deadline, after which opportunity to declare attacks is forfeited and the player next in line may declare attacks.
  • If a player above has announced his attacks, then the player next in line is free and is encouraged to announce attacks too, up to his deadline, i.e., if the players before you have announced attacks, don't wait for your deadline to announce your own attacks but instead do so speedily so battles can start as soon as possible.

Yes, there seem to be two problems here.

1. Goths are not allowed to attack this round since they lost a raid attack last round.
2. They can only raid into a province connected to their homelands or to a province looted by them in a land raid (highlighted by lighter color and their square symbol). Dalmatia is not connected to any such province.

So please make another raid attack.

Wouldn't the Goths be able to raid from XI into XV?
