Empire X - Turn 14 (220-210 BC)

This is the turn in which Carthage is led by the great captain Hannibal

The revolt dice land 1-1, meaning AEGYPTUS again becomes independent.

Hannibal and the Carthaginians start by conquering Gallia and Cisalpina, then switch south to take Magna Graecia.

An attack on ITALIA also succeeds, meaning the Romans will need to reconsolidate their control of the province. But since ITALIA cannot be attacked when it contains only a single Roman counter, Andy's sole option for his fifth and final campaign of the turn is to attack Graecia, but the naval crossing fails (he rolls a 2, and there are never modifiers for naval crossings).

Reg is next, but he fails to roll the 5+ necessary to reconsolidate Roman control of ITALIA.

My Macedonians retake AEGYPTUS with a 6, but Richard's Parthians also roll a 6 when attacking Mesopotamia.

A dramatic decade in the West
