[Pontifex Maximus]

The Romans are ready to fight. If the moderator could provide some backstory to what's going on (or I can) then let's start to get ready for an engagement of some sort. Be creative and let's set a nice scene up. This first battle might be a little rough untl we get into a groove but we have to start somewhere.

DS, you might want to advance into enemy territory to provoke a fight to get things rolling. Start carving out some territory and the Lusitanians should respond

[Vaðarholmr]

Well, the armies arent close enough for a fight.

[Pontifex Maximus]

Ozy is Rping the Lusitanians, no?

[Vaðarholmr]

I think so, i talked to him last night.

[Pontifex Maximus]

Ok, excellent. Of course whatever the Lusitanians are planning is up to them, the sneaky buggers! Vatt, I rolled to determine the relations between the celt iberians and Lusitanians to the Romans. The Celt-Iberians are somewhat neutral, but that can change. For now I recommend you RP the Celts, rely on rolls, and determine their path as either pro-Roman, pro-Lusitanian, or neutral. I would slant them to be slightly more pro-Celt-Iberian, but that's just me.

[Dark Storm]

Well, as long as they're not to good

[Vaðarholmr]

"Suddenly a disease spread in the roman camp, making every solider but 7 die. Then the celtiberians do a suprise attack"
Prepare for battle.

[Dark Storm]

I would still win. Simply 'cos I is Awesome innit...

[Ozy]

So i can just start posting in the war thread saying my actions or do i wait for the actual battle yo begin?

[Pontifex Maximus]

Nothing of what you plan to do militarily needs to be posted publicly. You can make public what you wish- a lot of what I made public during the civil war last year was intentionally misleading, for example, and as a result I got into very good position. You can go through Vatt for any covert action you want to take, but we can try subterfuge to find out what you're really up to.

[Pontifex Maximus]

I led a scouting expedition into enemy territory. Did I find anything, Vatt? PM me the results of the scouting mission based on any available information so I can relay it.

[Pontifex Maximus]

Two things really fast:

Roman armies have entered Tarroconensis IX, it will become Roman territory 24 hours from now.

Secondly, the Consul should be outraged at the Proconsul of Spain for not showing support, meeting with him, or anything. Highly irregular for a governor not to meet and speak (and offer support) to a Consul in the province. It could lead to potential charges being filed

[Dark Storm]

got it thanks, anyone want to play a messenger?

[Ozy]

Just waiting for a pm from Vatterholm.

Then get ready to fight!

[Pontifex Maximus]

Cool. I know its impossible (but you will see when I start moderating battles. Looking back it probably wasn't the best thing involving myself in things this early) to maintain a strictly realistic timeline for wars but generally a matter this trivial should be mopped up within the same term. I try to do the battles faster because newly elected pro-consul/consuls generally want to cut their military teeth, and it can become rough if a consul leaves for war and stays there for the length of a term...

[Dark Storm]

Can I do battles?

[Pontifex Maximus]

You can write them
