The Empire Strikes Back: Turn 15 (210-200 BC)

Situation in 210 BC

This is the first of two turns in which the Romans get Scipio as a great captain, with all the usual benefits, but naturally for these two turns the Romans do not get their usual turns 11-20 modifier of -1 for not having a great captain. The Carthaginians get a +1 modifier for this and the next four turns for recently having had a great captain.

The revolt dice (6-6) result in Thracia throwing off Macedonian rule.

I steamroller through Gallia, IBERIA and Numidia, and finally roll an emphatic 6 to capture AFRICA and so take over every Carthaginian province. I still have one campaign left, so I invade Graecia, but the naval crossing fails on a 1.

The Parthians attack Pontus, but roll 1 and so again fail.

The Macedonians reconquer Thracia with a 6.

That leaves the Carthaginians, who need to roll 6 to retake control of their homeland, but roll 3.

The west Mediterranean is all Roman
