Round 2 begins. And victory is ours as a Frank raider goes down without a scratch on my legionary! Whoo hoo! Rome will be glorious again!... unless we get pummelled like usual of course.

King Loch.
 
Peace? Hey, we go to war to preserve the peace. And with no barbarians around it will be plenty peaceful! Another Frank raider goes down as the Romans send the barbs fleeing for the hills!
 
Goth raider killed. Other than that I'm more just looking for the Frank and Goth tribes. They're doing a good job of hiding their cities in the bushes somewhere.
 
Killed a Goth raider and a Sass horseman. Lost a garrison on the road when I literally walked into a Frank raider. Sigh.
 
Yeah, King Stu is trying to hide his Goth cities far, far away from us, but I'm ferreting them out! Ataul...whatever is razed with 1 raider killed. Also lost a galley to a Celt curragh.
 
Ugh. Roman legionary goes down in the land of the Franks. Couldn't even take down a lowly Frank spearman. My other legions better do better. GPS
 
What are you worried about? Apparently the barbs can beat us up in their sleep!

Legionary again lost at Dispargum and a garrison lost at Tongres (what are the Frank spearmen on???)

But we rebounded and killed a Sass horseman and forced a Hun to retreat. Whoop-de-freakin'-do.
 
The Frank spearmen have obviously made a deal with some evil barbarian god that makes my legions powerless against them. You Franks may ward off my waves of legionaries with a single spearman, but you'll burn in hell! Mark my words!!!

Legionary killed. Again. Somebody please stab me in the eye.

Forced Hun horse to retreat. I think he just backed off cause he was too busy laughing at us.
 
Celt raider killed.
Goth raider killed in Alarichburg.
Hun horse forced to retreat.
Roman legion lost at Ecbatana.
2 more Roman legions lost at Singara.

Apparently the Sassanid spearmen have made the same evil deal as the Franks. Have my legions killed even one spear yet? One??? That's it, I'm pulling back my legions and attacking with warriors instead. Hey, they're cheaper to build and my win percentage can't get any worse!
 
No legions lost this turn so I guess I can't do my usual whiny post. :)

Sass horseman killed near Cappadocia. Another retreats near Nisibis.

Goth raider killed in Alarichbarg.

Hun horse retreats into the wilderness.
 
Goth raider killed in Alarichbarg. Hun horse killed on the road. Not much else going on, just trying to keep the pressure on those barbs.
 
2 Hun horsemen killed in the along the roads.

At Arbela, 1 legion lost, 1 immortal killed.

I'm away for the weekend so no turns till sunday. Sorry.
 
Arbella: Sass spear killed.

Near Antioch: Catapult hit, Sass horse killed.

Hun horse forced to retreat.

But here come the Celts... I say do your worst!
 
Ok, now I can post! Kind of unnecessary since I've got the turn back already but what the heck.

Tongres: Frank raider killed.

Arbella: Lost legion (to another Sass spear)

Another Sass city whose name I can't see: Lost legion (to yet another Sass spear)

Alarichbaurgs: Killed Goth spear and raider.

Killed Hun horse along the road.

Maybe I should just stick to attacking Visigoths. And the Celts did their worst... and my guys did even worse than that. Couldn't my legions even put up a fight? Just kill one of those marauding idiots? Is that too much to ask?



Alarichbaurgs: Killed Goth spear
 
Killed Frank raider on road.

Forced Hun horse to retreat on road, killed another.

Alarichbaurgs: Lost legion to a raider this time!

Well, Operation Annoy The Franks seems to be progressing nicely. Unfortunately we have now begun Operation Run Away From Impending Doom in England and the Sasslands. But we will overcome the evil barbarian onslaught, I swear it!
