Now in Black and White!!
What is this Sicily you Senators continue to mention? has the wine been flowing all too freely for you people? 
I think we must invade Sicilia as soon as the Gods allow. I cannot recall how the island is split amongst the Greek and Punic inhabitants however I spoke to a Soothsayer and in the innards of a sacrificial boar, he spoke of seeing something known as 'another game', a mysterious place where normal people like the plebs of Rome, control vast armies and empires for fun as if Gods and in the 'another game' he mentioned the Carthaginians having taken all but Syrracuse and forming 4 full sized armies on the island. Aparantly the 'player' of this 'another game' bears a striking resemblance to the honourable senator you see here and it seems that once he found out about the Punic armies he began describing barnyard animals, something about a 'Mother clucker'. Now what hens have to do with such a time was not clear and the wiseman was unable to asertain anymore out of the sacrifice, however it deos seem that the 'player' wished he'd taken out the Punic cities sooner to prevent such a build up of force.

Acting and raging tirades in the very senate floor itself (and this particular senator not being terribly amused; if I wanted to see drama I would have gone to the ampitheater!) we have a pressed advantage in the campaign against Gaul, and we should not allow the northmen to reorganize and regroup. Let us take what we can before we can consolidate our hold on the region with proper patrols and lookout posts!
However, Greece must also be observed carefully. And if the two young generals so wish to be part of any action we might take against the Greeks in the future, allow them the posts of keeping watch over them, and the honor of dispatching them should hostilities arise yet again!

Dionysius I think it may be inevitable
PrinceScamp Good save.
Killyouall I don't have to say anything educational do I? Would hate to think I'm taking someone away from their education just for a higher audience rating
steviejay Intriguing. Keep an eye on this soothsayer, he may be of further service.
Basarin I always thought that you senators grew up in the drama schools?
Mini news - Ive added an 'updateometer' at the bottom of my sig. Theoretically it'll annoy me into pushing towards new updates

Heart of the Republic - A Rome: Total War AAR
Part Fifteen
Almost immediately after PrinceScampey’s desperate speech in Rome, the Senate began debating whether they had made the right choice. With a clearer head, they began to realise that perhaps the Republic was becoming over-extended, and that they should return to warfronts closer to Italy. However they could do nothing - the vote was set, and the General had control of the Republic’s troops still.
His first act was to continue to carve out his proto-empire in southern Gaul. From Massilia he trained many dozens of spies to form an intelligence network the likes of which even the Consular didn’t have. In addition, he intended a duel strike against Gallic and barbarian cities, which began with the siege of Croxis in 250 BC.
In Rome meanwhile, the Senate continued to fiercely debate the direction of the military. It was fiercely split, with senators such as StevieJey and Dionysus wishing for a push into Sicily, while Basarinus wished to continue the attack into southern Gaul while the region was weak. At any rate, Consular Kan II had received word from PrinceScampey that the Gauls were not willing to negotiate a cease-fire.
In addition, several rebel groups had sprung up in Italy, apparently demanding that the Republic wage war on Greece, or they would do it in it’s name, thereby forcing a war. While it was greatly believed that General Clericus was somehow behind the uprising, there was no form of evidence that could link him to the rebellion. Regardless, the rebels were put down by Generals Nodikus and Killyouallus with few Roman casualties.
In southern Gaul meanwhile, PrinceScampey launched what was a seemingly simple assault on Narbo. He utilised his standard tactics of sending in the barbarian mercenaries -the ones he had spared at Gergovia - first. They only had to wipe out a single enemy spearman unit, and he followed closely behind to watch the slaughter.
Little did the Hero of Rome know, was that his mercenaries had decided not to chance being slaughtered by their employers after the battle again, and had negotiated a deal with the defenders of Narbo. Therefore, as PrinceScampey rode to what he believed was a secure town centre, he was shocked to discover his mercenaries retreating in apparent terror!
Mass confusion in Croxis
Before he was able to understand what was going on, the ‘defending’ spearmen were upon his cavalry, and quickly cut down his bodyguard. Retreat was not an option, as he saw that his mercenaries had cut off all escape routes, and his Roman brothers were still at the main gate! He fell with his horse, and the barbarian’s vengeance was complete - PrinceScampey was slain!
If the barbarians had hoped this would be the end of the battle, they were mistaken. PrinceScampey’s policy of not sending in Roman soldiers when he could send others had made him a popular general with his own troops, and they reacted in horror and rage when the news made it’s way to their lines. Narbo was set upon from all sides, and though they fought bitterly, every barbarian was torn apart by the wave of fury. Their General’s last battle was still a victory.
The conquests of PrinceScampey
In Rome, the news was met with open mourning, but quiet relief. PrinceScampey was a great general, but in recent years he had become more questioned as to why he had not taken his place in Massilia, and naturally rumours of the general attempting to march on the capital had sprung up. Regardless of what might had happened, it appeared Tillus II’s belief that the Gods were beginning to favour a southern assault seemed to be true...

Emperor, i request in memory of princescampy that we finish the war we begun, we cannot allow a death of a great general in vain
since i believe i'm still around the north may i propose that we attack and conquer whatever may still be under the enemy control
let the enemy know, the death of a roman general will just send another, until they are defeated
*thinks to himself* Garrison duty sucks

I still have the collective cry of outrage my troops shouted as I was dying ringing in my ears.. "YOU KILLED PRINCESCAMPEY! YOU BASTARDS!"
Good way to die.
That town to the north, Romata, looks like a good place to take to help secure the north western border. Then sicilia!

Request for Kan: My son would like to be named Jasper Hawk if that's not too much trouble, aslo, while a little cruel, he doesn't kill the mercenaries unless the unit is reduced to a rather small and patheticly beat up unit.

I'm sure the senate could easily change that.
