The battle for SYRIA has ended and the Purple legions have repulsed the Sassanid invasion inflicting a 35 - 48 = -13% Defeat.
My Romans side were favoured by the map -- had @chiquichops some open flanks to exploit with his cavalry, this might have ended a bit differently.
BATTLES
BATTLE 1: SYRIA -- @chiquichops vs @Rico -- Sassanid Defeat (-13%)
BATTLE 2: ITALIA -- @Rico vs @cargol
BATTLE 3: GALLIA -- @kronenblatt vs @otosan
BATTLE 4: (no battle possible)
BATTLE 5: (no battle possible)
One of the most horrible features of war is that all the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.

The Battle of Italia ended with a nail-biting 62–54 victory for the legitimate emperor Carus against the despicable Riconius
@kronenblatt - we both really tried hard to get our emperors killed… but no luck. 🤣

A brutal battle in ITALIA resulted in a -8% Defeat for the PURPLE legions -- we fought each other into the ground -- fun battle @cargol .
Emperor Carus lives to fight another day.

K is well on his way to kicking my butt.
BATTLE 3: GALLIA -- @kronenblatt vs @otosan
=> kronenblatt wins 45-15 (+30). Many thanks for the battle.
TURN 3 concludes with the elimination of the BLUE faction after the GREEN victory in GALLIA -- the now former aspirants to the Imperial Purple, Generals Fortis and Pater, have reportedly fled to exile amongst the Barbarians in Britannia. General Blatta now controls virtually the entire northern half of the Empire.
Thanks for participating @otosan -- hope you nejoyed the battles.

Green takes on the parent role, expressing the Roman sense of responsibility that is so rare nowadays, and attacks Britannia in order to oust the Franks from the island. (With the caveat that if too many other battles this round, I withdraw the attack.)
GREEN attacks BRITANNIA.
With the loss of our fleet and the Sassanid invasion, PURPLE's options are limited to an attack into GALLIA to attempt and cut down the GREEN usurper's lead a bit. General Riconius leads his troops into battle.
@Cargol is up next.

SYRIA here we come! I'll message you when I've set up.

The Franks will shout Fortis and Pater a beer or two to get them started. They'll have to swap those togas for something more rustic though.

Not much of a choice 🙂 I am attacking Pannonia from Italia.

Well, you can attack Rico in Africa. 🙂

@kronenblatt I'll let you set up if it's on. I'm warning you, the weather's terrible, the beer's warm and there's no decent food here!

Haha! Can you set us up with a few of those women with body paint too? Maybe we'll become druids and start a cult.
These comments are too funny and take the sting out of being eliminated early. Have fun guys.
