Completing The Second Cycle - Turn One (350-340 BC)

Situation in 350 BC

The revolt dice land 2-3, meaning double-points scoring IBERIA throws off Carthaginian rule, which, since that is Andy's people, helps my prospects of keeping the lead in our series of eight games.

My Macedonians are drawn first, but I narrowly fail to take Graecia, rolling a 3 instead of the needed 4+.

Andy's Carthaginians are next, but he fails to retake Iberia, also rolling a 3.

Reg's Romans are effectively forced to pass as it is impossible for them, as required, to consolidate control of ITALIA, as to do so Reg has to roll a die lower than the turn number.

Finally, Richard's Persians conquer AEGYPTUS with a resounding 6.

The Persians have begun well, but Carthage's woes are good news for the Romans as well as for me
