This powerful group has the only C4 in the game. However if only 2 moves are available (presumably all year long) consider moving these blocks to Genua to make a larger group for future turns. It is sometimes wise to hold them in reserve like to see what Pompey’s opening moves are before committing them. Moving these blocks into Rome (with others) early helps ensure the Italy will fall but sometimes attracts Vulcan’s Fury. This group makes an ideal back up for either Hispania or Rome. If Hispania is to be attacked having friendly Navis off the coast can be very valuable.
Consider leaving the Navis in Massilia and levying another one at the Major Port there before going to sea in strength later. There is also Cavalry block in Toletum that Caesar can build once this force moves south. This threatens to outflank Tarraco while still supporting Narbo. If moved Burdigala, plan to move the Lugdunum blocks over to create a 4 block army. These two Legions usually head west either to Narbo or to Burdigala. From Rome Antonius can threaten Pompey and/or press toward Syracuse and beyond. Using a 3 rd move in Lugdunum to bring these two blocks to Rome is safer. If Levy points are available to raise the Rome Legion it can be safe. These 3 blocks are at some risk in Rome alone. West: To Narbo and/or Massilia, bulking up for a strong attack into Hispania.East: Moving Marc Antony east instead of Caesar is an interesting twist.If surrounded by stronger blocks, he is formidable. The Antonius block is useful because he is an “A” but because with only 2 steps he is vulnerable to being killed. This is viable only if Antonius’ Legions in Genua join to secure Rome.Ĭonsider leaving the Navis in Ravenna and levying another one at the Major Port there before going to sea in strength later. Caesar has several Iberian legions that can be replaced if the campaign goes awry. However, if some of Pompey’s blocks that build in Hispania, can be eliminated in the conquest, they often never return. There is risk of being caught up in a long war in Hispania. This move also compels Pompey to commit MPs in the east.
Unless Caesar moves east, at least 1VP in Hispania or Syracuse (in addition to Rome) will have to be seized to avoid an early defeat.
Caesar must prevent Pompey from taking the 3VPs in the east that begin vacant. Caesar’s opening move: East, West, or South determines the early direction of many games. Higher Levy cards are useful early to Pompey.Ĭaesar and Legio 13 should stay together. Pompey should also open with 2 move card or better. Caesar seeks to control play and keep Pompey on his toes.
Caesar should open with a 3 move card or better.
