Luckily for our potential Carthaginian alliance they decide to invade Mauretania, however despite some diplomatic efforts they refuse an alliance. However the war starts well, the Romans do move in towards Croton, but we invade Lucania and sweeps away the Lucanian army and meet the Romans in battle. Eventually Pyrrhus drives them to Apulia and from there they retreat into Samnium. Pyrrhus lay siege to the Apulian cities, while the army in Epirus is shipped to Taras and from there invade Lucania and besiege their cities.
Romans try in vain to drive Pyrrhus away from Apulia. However bad news as the Macedonians manage to defeat the invading Galatians. Alliances are created with the Aetolians, Achaeans as well as Syracuse. Lucania is liberated and put under Epirote control. Two years after the war starts Pyrrhus march into Campania. For nearly a year the Romans try to drive him away, but eventually Campania is under our control
Pyrrhus decide to move against Rome. However while victorious the army is not in good enough shape, so we retreat and let the army rest. While war rages in Italy we are drawn into a war in Hellas as the Achaean League invade Sparta.
While our militia army is sent to support the Achaeans it wins one battle against the Spartans as Sparta falls and sees its independence end. It is quickly sent back to Italy, it can be noted it is now led by the former Strategos of the Bithynian army, who could not despite all his skill save it from Pontus. A few months after the fall of Sparta it is Pontus that forces us into a new war as they go to war with the Aetolians. They are unfortunately supported by the Seleucids and the Bosporans.
Luckily while none of our many victories against Rome has been decisive, they are eventually forced to accept our demands of peace, actually they offer us more then what we have demanded for a few months.
The war with the eastern kingdoms look like it might end on its own, especially as both Pontus and the Bosporan Kingdom asks and receives a white peace each. The Seleucids appearantly want more.
King Antiochus himself lead an army that promptly lay Taras under siege. However the Seleucid navy is quickly sent to the bottom of the sea. After a few battles their army is destroyed. While they have more armies, they are unlikely to have a large enough navy at the moment, so the chance for the war ending seems good.
While the most prudent course of action might be to wait until a white peace can be arranged with the Seleucids and then act, we could strike now; Pyrrhus army is in good condition and while our manpower may not be at the levels we might wish it should be enough.
For our main presumptive targets, Macedonia has recently conquered Crete and seems to be in quite good position, but we have two allies to help us against them (the Leagues). Illyria is another option, they recently got beaten by the Scordisci in a war, so we could try to take Taulanti from them. However there is one very ambitious thing we could do, invade the Seleucids. Risky I agree, but we are already at war with them and all we need is military access to Macedonian ports (and more importantly so we can march our army into Argolis and from there board our ships) to securely get to Lydia or Caria...
War exhaustion is noticeable so our militia army will remain in Italy so that any revolts may be quickly dealt with.
So what should we do? And if you want war, remember to specify wether or not you feel we should wait until the war with Seleucids end.
