I apologize to all but for us to all get going again after such a break I need to simply make a nice outline post as to what is going on and has occurred so we are caught up to the first month of 136AD.
And here is it...
East:
Persian Forces have seized all of Regunum Palmyrae as well as the capital of Palmyra without a fight; it was abandoned by Iustian forces in preparation for the device of both Iustian lands as well as Seleukia herself. The Seleukid Royal Army has moved to meet this threat and the Iustian forces supplemented with Imperial forces under PCL Lucius Carus Aper prepare themselves for the coming assault of the ERE which they know will come soon or later.
North:
Northern Forces have solidified their positions in the mountain passes into Italia and all of Gallia save S. Gaul is in their hands. Reports of more forces mobilizing in Central Gaul have reached Imperial ears and most are now under the assumption that S. Gaul will be the next target, or Italia itself.
West:
The forces of the Res Publica Hispania have launched a minor naval operation from Gades and seized the strategic port of Tinga and the naval fortress of Septem on the coast of Mauretania Tingitana; these coupled with the possession of the southern coast of Hispania effectively gives the rebels complete control over access through the pillars of Heracles. Imperial forces have recovered Equestris and re-established their supply lines to the coastline and Carthago Nova; in the process they met little resistance as the enemy forces which retook the city fled with an unknown number of civilians after the city could not be held. In retribution for their exuberance of being liberated by rebel forces previously Imperial units have publicly executed a small number of men, (mainly those remaining in the city who have social status and who are not citizens), by means of crucifixion as a warning to those who would welcome rebels. Total deaths did not exceed a few dozen and no further reprisals are mentioned. The Imperial army under Imperator Raeus Honestus has pushed hard against Pertinaxus, capital of the enemy forces and have engaged in light skirmishes, rebels along the way. They now sit within two days march to the city and are poised to strike.
That is all... in case I missed anything please let me know...
