Notes

1.      This can be rolled twice:

b.      The second represents Caesar’s raid over the Rhine into Germania Superior in 55 BCE.

2.      This period saw the final breakdown of the Republic as popular leaders created power bases amongst the Legions and sought power for themselves. This can be rolled four times in total whether rolled for Invasion or Defence. Each time a mini-series of battles is fought differently to all other Enemies as explained in the special rules below.

a.      The first roll represents the civil war of 83 – 81 BCE between Sulla and the Marians and will consist of a series of three battles, each time representing a different theatre of war: Italy, Africa and Spain.

b.      The second roll represents the civil war between the Caesareans and Pompeiians, of 49 – 46 BCE. It will consist of a series of five battles, each time representing a different theatre of the war: Italia, Hispania, Africa, Illyria and Graecia.

 Special rules

1.      There is no campaign invader or defender for these battles, the invader or defender for each battle is determined under the rules of the rule set chosen to fight each battle.

2.       No Battlefield Effects are rolled for.

3.       When each of the above mini-series is rolled flip a coin - one player fights all the battles as one side the other as the opposing side. All battles in the series rolled must all be fought out immediately in turn before rolling on the Enemies table again.

4.       There is no bidding process to determine Roman army size, each player gets a ‘Major’ army of the same size – decide between you on the points value, or roll on the table in Appendix 2.

5.     Whichever side wins the majority of the battles wins the mini-campaign being played and all winning team players gets one Prestige Point per battle won, the losing players lose an equal number (even if they win some of the battles). In addition, unless killed in the final series battle fought, the loser’s family nominee (this applies to all players on the losing side of a multi-player game) must commit suicide (at each player’s sole discretion) or they lose all positive cumulative Prestige Points acquired this era to date (but not accumulated negative Prestige Points).

Additional notes:

a.       On a draw a battle must be refought until a result is obtained. 

b.      No adjustment may be made to Prestige Points lost by ‘Dying a Glorious Death’.

c.       MeG: in the second series Caesar’s X^th may not be used, he is keeping it busy himself.

d.      In the second series when fighting the ‘Africa’ battle the Pompeian player must use: MeG: 2715 Pompeian Numidian ADLG: 56 Numidian sub-list: Labienus’ army at Ruspina 46 BC.

f.       In the fourth series when fighting the Africa battle the army of Mark Anthony and Cleopatra must include an Egyptian allied command: MeG: Late Ptolemaic 2209 ADLG: Ptolemaic 43.

g.     In a multi-player game players must choose between the two sides, as equally as possible, and nominate one of their team to fight each battle in turn. Each member of the winning team wins the mini-campaign and gets the Prestige Points and each member of the losing team loses that same number. Players don’t have to be on the same teams in each mini-campaign.

3.      This represents the Gallic Wars  of 58 to 52 BCE and may be rolled four times, representing the following in turn:

The German player must accordingly take an external ally command chosen from MeG: 2301 (Tigurini) or 2302 (Ambrones) ADLG: 89.

The Romans had to scramble to put enough troops into the field after sustaining heavy losses consequently the Roman player must downgrade at least 50% of his Legionaries to MeG: Poor ADLG: Mediocre.
