Battle of Syracuse

Decimus Flaminius Pisentus (Optimatium) + Flavius Porcius Carbo (surprise attack) Tactical counter
(4 legion +5 veterans+ 6 command +1 reform)=26 strength
Slaves (balanced
(10 armies)=10 strength
Battle Roll: 12+11+5
Result: Crushing Victory

As soon as Dictator Pisentus landed in Sicily with his Master of Horse Porcius Carbo, he saw an island in despair, the farms were destroyed, villages were burned, statues of great men defiled by the rabble, Pisentus would make it his mission to punish the slaves, he started marching on Syracause, which was the supposed slave capital. his march was ruthless, crucifying all of those who opposed him, many slaves started laying down their arms, but Pisentus was clear, there would be no amnesty to any of the rebels, those who laid down their arms were also crucified, soon enough the path between Messena and Syracause was filled with crucified slaves, Decimus soon found himself infront of the gates of Syracause, the ancient and noble city defiled by the slaves, panic swept the city, the city was still well defended and Pisentus did not want any of his men to die, he wanted to minmise the losses, so he made a deal with the guards of the city, amnesty and money should they open the gates, knowing the dire situation, they did not refuse and at the dead of night let the romans in their city, Pisentus and a Legio Hispana marched inside the city, they were lightly armoured, not having any shields, but they were not needed, soon the legion was let loose Syracause, every suspected rebel was killed, every was men was to be killed, and women and children sold into slaver, such was the cost of trying to break away from the Republic, those that left the gates open were also crucified infront of the gate, the majority of the army stationed there was slain in their sleep, many tried to escape only a few did, as news got spread of this many rebels departed from Sicily or tried to hide to escape by returning to their former lives. Pisentus was satisfied with the result from his campaign in sicily, the losses were minimal and neglected, a genius move by Pisentus, now The Senate was assured that the slaves will never rebel again, but only time will tell.

Deal accepted. The time for landbills is long over, the plebs have been spoiled at the expense of Rome for far too long.

Gaius Julius answers: Much of this income finds her way back to Rome one way or another. We believe there to be insufficient evidence to confiscate the Concinnatore assets.. However *he points his finger towards the Commercium's senators*, these concessions will do no good in combination with governing Sicily. We all bore witness to what the slaves did before!

Battle of Utica

Decimus Flaminius Pisentus (Flanking) Tactical counter
(2 legions +5 veterans+ 4 command +1 reform)=17 strength
Hanno (Envelopment)
(9 armies)=9 strength
Battle Roll: 10+7+3=20
Result: Decisive Victory

As soon as Pisentus defeated the slaves in Sicily he received news from allies in the senate that Carthage, one of Rome's greatest enemies has started breaking the treaty that was signed with Rome, they started conquering the Numidian tribes and started receiving income from lucrative trade deals with the Seleucid, Pisentus decided to send 1 legion under Titus Acilius to restore stability in Rome, while he took most his veteran legions to march on Carthage.
Pisentus landed in near Utica, His good friend, Scipio provided him with fleets to fight the war against Carthage. Pisentus soon besieged of Uttica his forces were stronger and Uttica surrendered.
The next week news spread that he was about to march on Carthage and the Numidians joined him in the hopes of pillaging the the city. Pisentus finally started his march and met the Carthaginian army in Tunis, the army was bigger and mostly comprised off citizens of Carthage and Mercenaries, the army also had African War Elephants who were fairly untrained. Pisentus deployed his veteran legions on the right flank and behind them Numidian Cavarly and Tribesman, and placed his legions in the center and left flank, soon the Carthaginians attacked their plan was to envelop the Roman army and defeat it using raw numbers, as soon as Pisentus saw this he deployed the Numidians to encircle the enemies flank while the veteran legions charged, this broke the unexperienced Carthegenian and soon the army was routed.

Pisentus entered the city of carthage and ordered the city to be sacked and salted, its inhabitants sold, and everything of any worth take back to Rome, most of the Carthegenian Senate was captured and put in cages as Pisentus prepared for his eventual triumph in Rome. Some land was given to the Numidians for their contribution while most of it was under roman control.

Viriathus (Direct Charge)
(9 armies+5 command)=14 strength
Battle Roll: 10+4-3=11
Result: Stalemate

Eager for victory, Scipio pursued Viriathus southwards and westwards into the hill lands. For weeks he was harassed but finally cornered Viriathus' force at a hill in the territory of the Edetani tribe. The locals, fearing Viriathus and the romans refused to aid either side forcing Scipio to conduct costly scouting efforts on ways up the hill. Finally pathing a way forward he ordered Gaius Julius to march all the way around the other side of the hill and launch a flanking attack when he heard the trumpet from the main army. This flanking force was howevered discovered by the Lustiani and ambushed, 2 entire legions are routed but Julius makes it back alive. Exasperted, Scipio withdraws back to the coast to plot his next move.
