I've been considering how I best report the unfolding battles that are produced by our Empire Campaign. As I am not able to attend each battle I've settled on providing a brief report of each based on the accounts submitted by the players. I hope this illustrates the battle and places it in context. For those interested the most recent report, covering the 310 BC to 301 BC turn is now on my blog along with some photos. The full report can be found here: ancientwargaming.wordpress.com/2016/09/25/empire-310-bc-to-301-bc/

Keith, There are some great events taking place in the campaign. Poor Antigonus, I can hear the lament of the Greek chorus, stage left.

Yes Robert some very dramatic events are unfolding. Players are now starting to submit their offensives for the 300 - 291 BC turn.
Vodnik, yes the placement of the Syracusian mounted was interesting!

An interesting DBA encounter last night at the local club as the Early Carthaginians clashed with Italiot Greeks in Magna Graecia, as part of our on-going Empire Campaign. A more complete report will be provided once all the battles for the turn are resolved. However, the Carthaginians managed a win so have secured the area, though the Romans have dispatched an army... One of the interesting points, causing issues for both commanders, was the fact the plough was classed as rough going, no doubt due to heavy rain. The Carthaginians are on the left, Italiot Greeks defending on the right.

That is a very bold manoeuvre on the part of the Carthaginian general; leaving the army behind to follow as best as they can. Look forward to reading the full report.

Like the look of the little hamlet/BUA in the photo. Commercial, or home made?

Kieth, Glad to read the resumption of your campaign. We use a similar arrangement of automated campaign moves. This was born out of necessity as we have a limited number of players here. They do enjoy the variety of armies that they can use.
