@chiquichops and I are switching over from Medieval to Ancients and using very similar campaign rule concepts to fight in Sicily during the The First Punic War (264–241 BC)
I'll be playing the Romans and @chiquichops will be playing the Carthaginians and Syracusans.
The Romans open the campaign's 1st Turn with attacks on TYNDARIS and CATANA -- defended by Carthaginian and Syracusan garrisons respectively -- with Western Greek Allies as well. (both defending armies have Auto-Selected forces)
Both sides have one fleet each... but the Carthaginians only receive Inititiative Points from Turn 3 onwards -- allows the Romans the chance to make an incursion into Sicily from their base at MASSENA before the enemy can counter-attack in force.
MASSENA, SYRACUSE and LILYBAEUM are the Victory locations needed to be controlled to win the campaign.
My Roman army arrayed on a plain near TYNDARIS. (not sure that would match the real life geography of that area ... )
The lack of decent cavalry on the Roman side is going to be a real issue throughout this campaign.
