Welcome back, Hero!..And sorry, seems I do have to ask a question after all xD I don't seem to understand the likelihood of a revolt occuring-- main portion of the military is away, and some people aren't fond of suddenly becoming Romans-- i understand that much, but I'm a horrible judge of these sorts of things xD in my mind, the worst that can happen will almost always happen.

Well it's partly on the Consuls, the GM and the players. 

If you're issued an order to maintain the peace of a region, but haven't received details of what it is you're policing, then you have creative leeway. I don't know about you, but posting about how awesome my soldiers are as they politely handle drunks into the local holding cells doesn't sound like fun. No. I'd be inventing reasons for my army to have to go and deal with something big, like a slave revolt or a Socii rebellion. 

However, if what you're policing has been specified, then you go along with what you're given. 

I hope this went some way to clearing it up?

Right, it seems that Boerd is away for the weekend, and has left me with some vague instructions that I [i]hope[/i] the players involved understand from previous PM communications.

I will be gone this weekend, but could you post that Hannibal aborts the East Arno assault because Byrd reinforced Ded, but the 10,000 troops in West Arno overwhelmed the paltry 1,000 Byrd left and have now established a safe crossing point. It falls on Byrd and Ded to defeat them before Hannibal can cross.

To quote him directly. 

Dedonus and Byrd, do you understand what he's getting at here? And also, would you like me set the scene through the IC for you?
