S.P.Q.R. - Europa Universalis: Rome AAR

Well first of all, I'm new to this game, so this might be one of the shortest AARs you've ever seen.

I'll be concentrating mainly to the war area in the AAR. Writing a 'full' AAR would be abit too overwhelming considering that EU games are very Very VERY complex.

Right, off we go then.

CHAPTER 1 - expanding the empire

January 1, 280 BC

I'm sorry, but I just have to ask; if I'm the mighty Roman empire, then where's my army?! 26,000 troops is all I get in the beginning!

So, the game starts pretty much like Europa Barbarorum for RTW. The southern parts are held by the baddies (Magna Graecia) and before I can set-up my trade routes I have the different parties yelling at my face to go smash some heads to the south.

The bumm-kisser that I am, I separate the 26,000 troops and form Legions I & II, both being 13,000 men in strenght. My plan is to use these legions to attack as soon as the tits in Rome deliver the III & IV Legions to act as rearguards.

Ow yeh, it seems like a simple job, but as far as I've gathered, I can only claim territory if I annex it, so somehow I need to convince the MG bastards to accept peaceterms that say "You get peace, but I take your 2 last provinces!" (no, I havent succeeded in it yet... there gotta be another way ).

After I have atleast manned both Ager Bruttius and Tarentum, I turn my eyes north and march my Legions to Liguria and Bononia in hopes to claim them from the rebel wankers.

To be continued yaadidaa
