New Empire - Turn Five (310-300 BC)

Situation after four turns

The revolt dice land 1-2, meaning the Macedonian Successor states are hit by another revolt, with this time AEGYPTUS gaining its independence.

Reg's Persians are drawn first, and he chooses to attack independent Bactria. However, a roll of 2 puts an end to the invasion.

Andy's Macedonians are up next. He cannot try to regain AEGYPTUS, as neighbouring Syria is not part of a Macedonian chain of four controlled provinces, nor part of a chain linked to the Macedonian homeland, so he instead conquers 'Asia' with a 6.

My Romans successfully attack Magna Graecia, which should make it more difficult for Carthage to expand into the Italian mainland.

Finally, Richard's Carthaginians try to capture Magna Graecia, but are easily repelled after rolling a 3.

The inevitable Punic Wars will probably start in earnest next turn
