Re: [HS] Battle for Rome II - Parthia is OPEN
In the Season of 33BC , the forces of Antony launched a full scale invasion of dacian terrority, with three full army groups [stacks] and multiple smaller battlegroups. The lines of advance were three fold , with the main strike at Orestias where two full armygroup's sieged the town in the advance northwards protected by a fort. To the east at Bzantine , the romans had landed another force and rebesieged the old roman town on the coastline , with a further move to block the mountain range , which lead to the dacian town of Seuthopolis . Another main strike of Anton's legions was marching towards the town of Navissus where one armygroup camped in a fort and there leader Lucuis Vorenus had made another fort with his cavalry to support both this and the other fort to the east[the one blocking Suethopolis].
The tribesmen who had moved southwards into the woods , in the summer raiding period had ambushed part of these forces, in some cases out numbering there opponents , but the roman superior training and equipment protected them from rout, and in the end , these raiding groups had been forced to retreat , back to nearby townsteads.
The Dacian warlord, reviewed the full scale onslaught committed by the romans and admitted he didn't have the forces, to combat a full scale invasion particulary against the superior roman forces, and so he lead a winding retreat back into the winterly hill-lands of the dacian countryside, hoping that the other opponents of Antony would perhaps strike his now vulnerable outer settlements in the border, whilst he lead the roman forces a merry dance , into the dacian mountains.
The only place , there was a attack was on the sea, where the roman marines , transport ships where first hit by a dacian war raiding fleet, to which the roman fleet fled , only to run into more dacian raiders , to which they were sunk to dacian war songs , as the dacians reported at least some victory to there own gods .
