THE Romans got off to a relatively slow start, despite quickly consolidating ITALIA.
Indeed it took them so long to expand that Carthage was able to move into Magna Graecia, as well as conquering Sicilia.
But Scipio changed everything as a red tide first engulfed the west Mediterranean, and then pushed east, so that in the end AEGYPTUS was the only non-Roman province with a Mediterranean coast.
Here are the updated standings (four points for a win, three for coming second, etc):
ANDY
Game One: 4pts (Macedonians)
Game Two: 3.5pts (Persians/Parthians)

So the campaign of campaigns, as it were, with each player commanding a different people in every game, ends with a convincing win for our serving armed-forces officer, Andy.
He only won one game outright, as did I and my regular wargaming opponent (Andy and I also shared a win in game two), but he never finished worse than equal second.
It is also noteworthy that his outright win in game one came with the Macedonians, who went on to trail the table of peoples.
