Petrarca: The lack of troops makes it a challenge! I'm not sure if Syagrius could do Fabius. Possibly, if he hadn't committed to Laudunum, he could've danced around Clovis' flanks, but he had minimal cavalry. Most of his army is Gallic levies, and the Roman aspect is primarily infantry. It'll be difficult to maneuver, but there's always hope.
Lord E: Well, clearly neither Syagrius or Clovis was at their best, and numbers told in the end.
Anarcho Liberal: They'll try to raise more, but Gaul is a pretty war-torn region, the highway for many tribes invading the West: the Vandals, Visigoths, Suebi, Franks, Burgundians, to say nothing of Attila. Finding men will be difficult.
stynlan: I think as a refreshment, I'll start off the next section with a resounding victory, for a change of pace. For now, he'll have to contend with Clovis from a weak position.
coz1: We shall see. I'm still trying to figure out Clovis' religious angle. Historically, he married a Burgundian princess who was Christian himself, and this led to his conversion. Now he faces off against an orthodox Rome, and Arian neighbors. I wonder where he'll turn?
Stuyvesant: By the end of this book, Remus' body will resemble a tenderized piece of ground chuck. Clearly a man who's struggled for his success.
Darks63: I sure hope not. Remus needs to keep swinging that sword.
TC Pilot: Yes, even with his victory, Clovis won't be able to conduct a lightning campaign, but his advance is surely inexorable. Laudunum, then Soissons, and then the heart of Gallia. It will be quite the struggle.
Avernite: Good work, prophet. In a way, they're all tied to settlements, Clovis simply to give his men towns to sack and replenish, and Syagrius to defend the key points of his lands.
Draco Rexus: Well, one can never say Remus hasn't earned his laurels the hard way.
The Yogi: Well, Syagrius is in a difficult position. The Franks are invading, the Visigoths are raiding his western lands, and the Britons to the west are antsy. His forces are spread out, and I think his pride made him want to fight it out to a decision rather than wait for his enemies to approach his capital.
Amric: Oh, I'm sure Romulus will hold Remus personally responsible for Laudunum, even though he had no involvement in the fighting itself. Of course, our young Imperator has plenty of other worries in Italia. As for the battle itself, it was a tough setback for Gallia. The Franks were certainly bloodied, and they definitely took some losses, which is why Clovis has to take the fort. He has to give his men the satisfaction of the victorious occupation.
Prussian_King: It'll be a tough fight for Remus and Syagrius, but they remain defiantly Roman.
Pericles: Thanks and welcome!
SeanB: Oh, certainly, this is the dawn of Frankish strength!
aussieboy: Well, if Remus had brought troops, he would've had to fight the Burgundians, which would've been tough. In a way, despite his wounds and losing Arenius, slipping through individually might have been faster. Of course, the Burgundians still separate Italia and Gallia.
