[quote=So Boerd] Hannibal would have gotten Gallic reinforcements. Don't worry about Ded not having a fighting chance. Hannibal is attacking in the worst place possible. It is hilly to mountainous and the river is not diffused like it is towards the delta. [/quote] His reinforcements are engaging the Roman army elsewhere across the narrow corridor of Italy. I imagine if Hannibal gathered his army enmasse, and hit a single point - then Rome's legions would have been able to respond in kind. After the last disaster of a post-order battle, I wanted to keep things a bit broken up to aid fluency. As the current Consul for this turn, feel free to have a hand in creating the opposing forces, and the nature of the attack in general. I'm the GM, so I'm here to step in and direct when needed, but as per the RP's rules, you're a CO-GM by default (making us cool RP consuls) for the duration of your legate's term in office. This gives you the powers mentioned over such things. I'm retiring for tonight, so if you wish to modify the situation, you may do so with my consent. Will see you all tomorrow.
