Okay -- ready to move on to TURN 5!
Interesting developments in the last round of battles ... BLUES victorious and now besieging HISPANIA.
GREEN attempt to relieve AFRICA fails and the besieged garrison succumbs and the province is now under BLUE control.
RED legions defeat the BLUE defenders in PANNONIA and the province is now under siege and RED legions are on ITALIA's doorstep.
The RED attack into SYRIA was defeated ... the GREEN's hang on to fight on.
On the heels of their defeat in SYRIA, the RED faction now face an invasion by the PARTHIANS into PONTUS.
ACTION POINTS:
RED: 2
BLUE: 3
GREEN: 2
Ready for faction orders -- no rush, GREEN faction leader @enigma6584 is out of town until Sunday, I think.

Good game thanks...
Likewise. Like I mentioned, you did a helluva job turning a rout into a very close thing at the end.
Meanwhile in the province of PONTUS, the legions of Nathangunnus are in a spot of bother against the Parthian invaders... here a Praetorian Guard unit surrounded by Parthian cataphracts after his infantry formations lost cohesion after routing the rather inadequate Parthian infantry levies...
Yep I lost that one, too many heavy cavalry. Sorry Nelson.

Take heart. Cassius himself couldn't do better against the Parthians.
That was a quick wrap up of TURN 5's battles... not a good turn for the RED faction.
BLUES manage to destroy the RED invading legions in PANNONIA and the Parthians destroy the RED legions in PONTUS, putting the garrison there under siege.
Time for TURN 6:
HISPANIA runs out of garrison points and now is under BLUE control.
PONTUS loses ONE strength point due to the Parthian presence.
The Gods have decided the RED faction is to have a tough time -- random roll determines a GOTH barbarian invasion into province of THRACIA while the Parthians are ravaging PONTUS.
Will the BLUES and GREENS try and profit off their misfortunes?
ACTION points:
BLUE: 3
RED: 2
GREEN: 1
Awaiting orders!
