New Empire - Turn Nine (270-260 BC)

Situation after eight turns

The revolt dice land 6-4, meaning Mesopotamia successfully expels the Persians - the first real Persian setback for many years.

Reg is drawn first, and he immediately reoccupies Mesopotamia with a 4.

I am next, and my Romans take Gallia with a 6, meaning I now have a land border with the Carthaginian empire.

Andy's Macedonians try to take advantage of the apparently weak Persian position in Mesopotamia to attack that province, but roll a 3.

Finally, Richard's Carthaginians attack Gallia. There are -1 modifiers for operating outside of Carthage's original empire and for attacking a controlled province, but Richard rolls the necessary 6.

The battle for the West is hotting up
