you are outside Agrigentum, a city in Sicily, although the general, L. Postumius Megellus, wanted to starve them out, it hasn't been working and after two months, both armies are low on food. you are getting meager meals, that seem to get smaller and smaller by the week. by the next day you are prepared for battle. you mount up and form your lines, as the Hastati, Principes, Triarii, and Velites form up, and the other cavalries. You survey the enemy leaving the gates, but you see many odd men, some wearing what looks like a Parma shield, and a Galea helmet, even have a roman short spear, but they are barbarians, and wear a long flowing tunic. "Ligurians." comments the standard bearer, a slightly older soldier, who seems to know who they are.

"They're a province just north of Etruria, called Liguria, they're soldiers are half roman and half celt, and they are tough warriors." He picks up the standard that was in a special pocket in the saddle of the horse, "Looks like they also have celts, and even Spaniards, the Carthaginians seem to prefer to hide behind hired arm today."

RPOL has taught you well young one
argh, Carthage is kind of weird, so you'll be jumping between two different classes(social standing) of soldier
well anywho You are stationed in Messana, where only a few days a go a scout came back with word that Romans have landed on the beaches not far off. You are already prepared in defense, but it doesn't seem good, all you have are mostly levied militia hoplites, and a few units of yourself, and some Akontistai on the walls. But by now they have already formed a camp outside your city, and look about ready to storm the walls, with their ladders. From the walls the next day you see them, you want to ring the warning bell, but you know that everyone is already prepared, you watch the maniples of Hastati form the first wave of attackers, with long heavy ladders in hand, they march forward, although still far off in the distance.

you loo karound, many of them are worried as to what will happen, akontistai can't really hold their own in combat, but there are no men really meant for the walls
after about half and hour you see the skirmishers retreating from the walls, running to regroup at the town center, or just running. you ehar a short chorus of cheers before you then hear the creak of the doors lifting
