After a series of victories our legions in Gaul have had some setbacks. Our alliance with Britannia ended after the barbarians unexpectedly attacked us, severing the treaty, and earning themselves the wrath of the Julii. We began a campaign at the urging of the Senate and quickly laid siege to a couple of their provinces. Upon entering their cities and taking their wealth the population was executed rather than enslaved as an example to those who smack away the hand of Roman friendship.
Recently, a couple of armies from Britannia recaptured the two provinces that were taken earlier. Fresh armies are being levied as this is being written. Rest assured that they will pay for their insolence. To add insult to injury they have also dared to lay siege to one of our major cities in the middle on Italian soil. Little do they know, the besiegers are about to become trapped as an entire army is moving up behind them. The Senate is eager to see these barbarians crucified along the Appian Way.
The war in Espana goes much better. We now have four of the five Spanish provinces under our control, with fresh troops being raised every day. There is one other province in Espana that will also need to be dealt with and it is controlled by what is left of those Carthaginian pigs. I look forward to the day when their corpses will be rotting beneath the sun. The once mighty city-state of Carthage has already fell to the legions of Scipio Africanus.
Also, the last remaining stronghold of the Gaul has been found and will soon be dealt with. Afterwards, the conquest of Britannia and their holds in Gaul will be renewed and the Empire will grow and become stronger.

Silly? Yes, but I'm on still on vacation and have nothing better to do.
