Roman Civil War ToT PBEM playtest

[St Leo]

The team of conscripts has dragged the catapult to the gates of our fine city of Gaza. Jerusalem is still far ahead, but the supply lines are good and our besieging army can laze about in comfort.

[Civfan]

bumpy bump for whos next

[techumseh]

That would be the Parthians. C'mon Gareth, before your PC bites the dust!

[fairline]

OK Crassus, this is your last warning - get those troops away from my cities or its handbags at 20 paces

[Civfan]

Crassus has moved the units away from Parthia last month, which units are you referring too?

[techumseh]

Listen guys, there's no avoiding a scrap here. Why even try?

[Civfan]

With Parthian slave girls, archers and catapults acting as spies in Cassus's Roman territory,

Crassus decides the truce with Parthia has long expired. Death to the Parthian's, the barbarians of the east!

Prepare for War!


To glory and eastern riches!

Nothing less than Orodes in chains!

[MagyarCrusader]

Pompey progesses his way towards progression.

[techumseh]

And Caesar regresses his way towards progression.

[The ANZAC]

Regrouping in Anatolia

[Civfan]

armies of Crassus make their move against the Parthian barbarians. Several Parthian units were easily defeated.

Stategies have been proposed on the Parthian counter attack.

A message sent to the Roman Republic.

-- Crassus has started his invasion of the Parthian realm and wish to inform you to prepare for an attack from Parthia in the coming war!

Death to the Barbarian Parthians!


Long live Crassus!

[The ANZAC]

It seems as though Parthia has only declared war on Crassus' command. However, we would like clarification before we begin hostilities, if so needed, against Parthia: Parthia, do you declare war on the Roman Senate as well?

"Message to the Nations":

Let all the world know that Pompey is indeed "Great" - a "Great Liar" and an infamous cur! Like a blasting bolt hurled by the Gods, news of the treacherous capture of Pallantia and the cowardly destruction of it's unarmed garrison has arrived at the Palace of Alesia. Truly this is a Black Day for Gaul. All Ye Great Leaders, pay heed! For ye have seen the dissonant words and actions of this craven! As for the Men of Gaul, we will not rest until the earth is cleansed of his presence. Do you hear that soft metallic whisper at thy back o' Pompous One? It is the sound of blades being sharpened....


"Message to Julius Caesar":

The King of the Gauls has found our test of wills to be most entertaining, but it might be time for Caesar to gaze at a map - and draw his own conclusions.

[St Leo]

Flies buzz. Sweaty hands swat. A lazy mirage hangs over the encampment.

Hey hey now, lets not be so hastey. Pompey will give you time to retract your unpleasant emotional outburst and apologize for this slight on his most noble character. Pompey has laid claim to all of Iberia and the king of the Gauls had agreed! So why the unarmed garrisson was marching westward instead of east will remain a mystery. However anyone shall feel about the situation, Pompey's quest for a united Iberia will inevitably come to pass as the Gauls shall soon see. I'm sure they will come to their senses before too long, for why would they want Pompey's mighty legions to stand shoulder to shoulder with Caesars.

I await your apology, and further evacuation of Pompey's lands.
