For the last decade, the British Isles have been locked into a never-ending cycle of invasion, conquest and rebellion. The latest development in this cauldron of war has been the invasion of the Danish Norsemen, who are seeking to re-establish the bloodline of the great High King Cnut, and reforge the mighty North Sea Empire. All that stands between them and their goals are the formidable Normans led by William the Conqueror, and the British people themselves.

Lets get the ball rolling again. EDIT: Saw the new deadline for 1st January, my bad.

Submission #4 - Vanilla M2TW AAR

The Designs of Men A Spanish AAR By Shankbot de Bodemloze Extract: Spoiler Alert, click show to read:  And waited, until they were close enough to charge and charge we did. This wasn't my first cavalry charge, it was my second - and the experience was still as thrilling, as terrifying, as the first time. I could make out the faces of our enemies as we neared, I could feel the determination of my Father besides me – this was his Kingdom and he was going to protect it or be dammed. Then came the impact: My lance sadly didn't catch anyone, but I made out a screech as my Father’s pierced through the soft flesh of his victim’s. Our momentum pulled us through the first wave our opponents, who we began to realise were not the threat we had considered, merely a roaming band of peasants who even the local town militia would be able to deal with. For some reason I started laughing, I found the idea of how serious we had all been at the start hugely comical in contrast to the ease at which we were slaughtering these peasants.

Link in the Title

Rome, a fledgling nation on the rise as it struggles to establish itself. To the north, the Etruscans. To the south and west across the Mediterranean Carthage and the tribes of Africa. Nearby the Greek city of Syracuse on the isle of Sicily.

Further north in Cisalpina, the Insubres, Veneti, and Ligurians, prominent tribes of the Celt and Gaul are neighbors on the south slopes of the Alps. Beyond the Alps to the north were the Barbarian tribes of the Gaul and Germana.

In the east across the Adriatic, the Greek city states hold sway,and to the west the tribes of Hispana.

The Senate has the power to wage war, and it has decreed that the legions shall secure Italia from threats from it's neighbors. The first task shall be to take the war north to the Etruscans, an ancient enemy of the Republic. Like the Samnites before them, the Etruscans shall meet their fate.
