The war with Carthage is going terribly, Rome's generals are inadequate and the armies poorly selected for this kind of work, it seems. Hopefully those horse can make it to the front before all is lost, or Rome's reputation will be heavily battered..

A little question to moderators:
Are a couple of "damns" acceptable despite these are family forums because I know that people don't like to read very much cursing or offensive language here. English just isn't my first language so I don't know how "bad" certain words are and others aren't and I'm not very experienced with different powerful ways of expressing frustration or hate but I've kept all F- and S-words outside this AAR.
Well it isn't my first language either but I've used the "damns" and "darns" and "hecks" here and haven't run into any trouble. Think "hitto" in Finnish, you'd have to have quite a marginal world view to find that offensive. Also in character language that's used for a reason is generally less of an issue.
Even in character I'd leave out the worst stuff (the f-word or anything that can be seen as derogatory towards nationalities, minorities, women etc.). At a glance, that update certainly seems to be fine.
Great to see an update again, I'll comment more when I have the time to read it properly.
very intriguing ending there and neat that Manius gets chucked into the cell he is just vacating ...
