New Empire - Turn 11 (250-240 BC)

Situation after 10 turns

For the rest of the game my Romans receive a +1 modifier every turn when I do not have a great captain, which means every turn except turns 15 and 16, when Scipio Africanus will lead my forces.

However, first the revolt dice land 4-2, but Bactria is already independent, so there is no effect.

Andy's Macedonians are drawn first, and they successfully invade Mesopotamia.

Richard's Carthaginians miserably fail in an attack on Gallia (Richard rolled a 1).

I counterattack against IBERIA, but also roll a 1 - not enough, despite Rome's +1 modifier.

Finally, the Persians try to retake Mesopotamia, but Reg comes up short with a 3.

The Macedonians are slowly gaining the upper hand in their epic struggle with the Persians
