On the 27th October 312 AD the battle of Milvian Bridge was fought near Rome. The two men contending for control of Rome and the Empire were Constantine, who controlled Gaul, England and parts of Germany and Maxentius, who controlled Italy, Spain and Africa.
It happens the two were brothers in law.
The day before the monumental and pivotal battle, Constantine saw a flaming cross in the sky, taking I as an omen, he had his men put a cross on their shields and banners.
Full of strength at what their commander had seen, Constantine’s men won the battle. Maxentius drowned crossing a bridge over the Tiber.
Rome would soon be unified under one ruler (only Licentius remained in Constantine’s way.)
Constantine would spend the ret of his reign Christianising his subjects.
He converted on his deathbed, becoming the first Christian Emperor, in 337 AD.

Unfortunately, I just don’t have the time to play my game, Finals are next week and I need to do well on them. Mr. Ghoul will be advancing to the next round.

Good job, Mr. Ghoul! :smile:
Like papa always said, slow and steady wins the race.
I say be just like the Russians. Retreat from the invader and let the weather and supply lines (or free time) take its toll. :wink: -
Well, we only got to G1’s combat moves :sad: Ghoul had a weird thing going, playing with my mind!

Remember Yanny,
Axis and Allies is a metagame just as much as it is a board game. Of course in play by e-mail some of that head to head confrontation is lost.
