[RTW AAR] The Rise of an Unknown

[Roxas]

This will be my first aar so please comment and give any tips and i hope you enjoy i will try to pst more soon.
It will be about the campaign of an scipii General called Quintus Scipii.



Quintus Scipio Part 1
I wish to be great, be written down in history as a greast commander but first i must raise an army and then destroy any enemies of Rome.

The news has only just arrived from Capua, We are going on a campaign in europe to gain more land for the glory of the Scipii. I have been honoured by being gien the control of a small legion in Sicily and I have the task of conquering all of Sicily from the control of the Greeks and Carthaginians.
Those men will fall to my sword and I will be victorious.

I am now stationed in Sicily outside Messenia with my army.


Shortly after, my trusty advisor burst through the doors to my chamber.

Advisor: My Lord!
Quintus Scipio: Yes what is it?
Advisor: A Band of Mercenaries are camped nearby and they demand to see you.
Quintus Scipio: Bring them in I would like to hear them.
Advisor: Yes, My lord.

Mercenary Leader: We would like to join your army, but it will cost you 1,500 denarii.
Quintus Scipio: What men do you have?
Mercenary Leader: Well we have a unit of hoplites and a unit of peltasts.

Quintus Scipio: Hmmm……. I think we have a deal. Slave, pay the man.



We now have a nice little legion, ready for blood. The Commander has ordered us to start the campaign.



A few Days later

Advisor: Sir, our spies tell us there is a small army stationed in Syracuse.

Quintus Scipio: Well they have a few good units….
But I think we will crush those Greeks.
Ready the army.
Advisor: Yes, My Lord.


We soon arrived at Syracuse, I had never realised how big it was. Now we face a difficult task of getting into that city.

But good news finally arrived…

Advisor: Sir, our spies have managed to open the gates for us we can now get in easily.
Quintus Scipio: That’s good, now let’s attack.

Part 2

Battle of Syracuse


We finally manage to open the gates and our men form up getting ready to attack.

The Greeks are down to their last few men, and our hoplites tear through their ranks.

The enemy general charges into our hastati in a last ditch attempt to change the battle.

Our men achieve a Good Victory and a great city for the glory of Rome.
Victorious.

nice aar. Why dont you use a mod, there way cooler than vanilla

[marxist]

It is nice to see a vanilla AAR, brings back warm feelings. Nice start and a good idea TLLoR, make sure you proof read your posts though.

[Selifator]

Fun beginning, the pictures look a bit fuzzy, but that is either the size or the uploading. Doesn't matter much though, keep it going!

[Roxas]

Thanks for the comments as this is my first aar i wanted to keep it simple by using vanilla. Ill try and do the next part soon. Any ideas of what to do when i took all of sicily?

[Tazgrent]

Good approach, though you might want to flesh it out a little, add some more detail. I enjoy the first person account, and it brings back memories to see Vanilla RTW in action.

[Roxas]

YH i know thats why im trying to make the next part a bit longer, but im going to keep the first person style. Anyways i decided to see what every1 wants me to try and conquer after sicily.
Should Quintus...
1. Go Attack Greece.
2. Try And finish the carthaginians.
3. Make a march all the way to Brittania.
Or.
4. Help the julii by attacking the gauls.

[codfarther]

3!!!!!!!!!!!! Then take gaul!!!! or take gaul on the way

[Tazgrent]

If you're playing Scipii you're going to be in the best position to attack Carthage. Once you control all their ports and upgrade them to dockyards, the cash will start flying in faster than you can spend it, especially if you have trading buildings.

[Roger_The_Rogue]

Ja, take over the Carthage wealth.

[marxist]

Take Carthage, maybe do it the long way by taking Spain first, and historically.

[Roxas]

so far its its 3 votes for option 2 and 1 for option 3. Any way i will hope to be able to add another installment tonight.

[Roxas]
