Republic of Rome #3

Battle of Berœa
Flavius Porcius Carbo (Flanking)
(6 legions+ + 4 veterans+ 2 command +1 reform)=17 strength
Perseus (Direct Charge) Tactical Counter!
5 armies+6 command =11 strength
Battle Roll: 16+6-3=19
Result: Crushing Victory

As Carbo advanced into the macedonian interior Perseus began to lose his nerve. His retainers noticed he became obsessed with oracles and prophecies, rather than preparing for the upcoming conflict he put his faith in asiatic mystics who promsied him a magical solution.

Carbo was not an exceptional military commander but he he did know how to conduct a war. Finding Thessaly lightly guarded (save for the port of Demetrias) he raided it for grain and seized the mountain pass of Berœa then patiently waited.

Believing he could triumph, that some divine fortune was son his side, Perseus ordered an assault up the pass against this larger fortified roman army.
Although the Romans were at first surprised, mainly because of it being utterly incomprehensible, they swiftly recovered and routed the phalanx with massive volleys of pilas from heights and as soon as it broke up, charged and slaughtered them all. Perseus, his mind broken, fled on horseback to the east.

Carbo arrives in Pella and without even a pretense of honoring greek liberty like his predecessors, declares it under roman control, and says the kingdom is abolished, and that all macedonians would now consider Lucius Fulvius Ravilla as their lord.

Roman Casualties
Few

Macedonian Casualties
Heavy

Flavius Porcius Carbo gains 3 influence and 3 popularity for victory, as well as the honorific cognomen Macedonicus
Flavius Porcius Carbo a veteran legion, Legio Macedonica+1 more legions if given land
Romans love victory -1 unrest
Romans gains 30 talents in war spoils, and the province of MACEDONIA



Iberian Campaign

Gaius Servilius Glaucia (Envelopment)
(4 legions +7 veteran+1 command+ 1 reform)=20 strength
Viriathus (Balanced)
9+5 =14 strength
Battle Roll: 10+62=16
Result: Victory

With 11 legions at his command Glaucia delegated roles to subordinates who systemically land across the spanish coast and set up areas of roman control from which they expand outwards.

Roman legions do not make any sudden advances deep into enemy territory, but rather construct roads as they march, then make forts, then expand again.Entire tribes are forced by spear-point into makeshift cities the legions and thousands of imported craftsmen built to deny viriathus his sources of recruits.

It is simply a display of a power far greater than their own and of enormous capabilities that awes people away from Viriathus who has also proven unable to stop banditry, and famine, while the Romans can.

Eventually, a much depleted Viriathus is driven back into his Lusitanian heartlands and besieged. Massive assaults are launched upon his final fortress are overcome and he dies gloriously in the final moments.

aye

Counterbribe as much as needed
if cassius survives then cassius will roll assassination on pompey, but i will wait till aetius comes online to make it final, so no roll yet, notice it happens right after libertatem vote on the senate, and before optimates does (considering the order of voting is like persuade)
edit: if white agrees to not counter bribing then no assassination roll

Furthermore, I consider that NWE must be destroyed

Auctoritas won't persuade my faction this turn, i give them the 5 shekels from Valerius as soon as the GM allows it.

good to make deals with you

Furthermore, I consider that NWE must be destroyed

If crassus gets land comission, i will give 2 shekels to empi every turn while the comission is in play.

Considering libertatem gets sent to asia on turn 19 phase 2 , it will be corrupt every turn and pay auctoritas the 1d6 roll from the corruption, even if developed, in turn auctoritas will agree to send libertatem there.
