Empire 3: Turn 15 (210-200 BC)

Situation in 210 BC

This is the first of two turns in which Scipio the Younger inspires the Romans as a great captain, giving them five campaigns each turn and a +2 modifier.

The revolt dice (4-4) fall on independent INDIA.

Andy, rather than directly attacking the Carthaginians, conquers Magna Graecia and Sicilia, and then launches an attack on AFRICA, but the naval crossing fails with a 1 (throws for naval crossings are never modified). For his fourth campaign, he switches tack, conquering Cisalpina with a 2 (Scipio ignores the usual -1 modifier for attacking a controlled province), but Gallia holds out when 1 is rolled.

I attack Syria but roll 1.

The Macedonians attack me in Mesopotamia, but also roll 1.

Richard's Carthaginians attack Cisalpina, but 4 is not enough as there are -1 modifiers for attacking outside of Carthage's original empire and for attacking a controlled province.

The Romans have recovered from the shock of seeing ITALIA attacked
