New Empire - Turn 16 (200-190 BC)

Situation after 15 turns

The revolt dice land 2-4, meaning IBERIA throws off Roman rule.

I start my five campaigns my recapturing IBERIA, and then successfully take Numidia. That leaves me three goes at taking the Carthaginian homeland 'AFRICA'. Scipio does not cancel out an attacked homeland's -1 modifier, but he still receives his +2 modifier as a great captain, so my roll of 6 is easily enough. I then retake recently independent Sicilia, before attempting an invasion of Graecia. That requires a naval crossing, which just succeeds on a roll of 3 (2 or 1 would have meant the fleet was either defeated in battle or lost in a storm). There is further success when for the actual attack on Graecia I roll a 4.

Reg is drawn next, and his Persians take Syria from the Macedonians.

Richard's Carthaginians have disappeared from the map, but they will return in their homeland, ie 'AFRICA', if he rolls a 6, but his attempt this turn lands as a 4.

Andy's Macedonians ignore my capture of Graecia, and instead retake Syria, no doubt worried for the safety of double-point scoring AEGYPTUS.

The West is Red
