Not sure if it was manpower that saved Rome. It was resilience and everyone, really everyone, giving everything to the war effort. Not intended to sound heroic.
Then again, I know my history with Alexander, not so much with Hannibal.
Anyone read the books from JM Roberts, Hannibals Children and The Seven Hills? Not that those are the best books ever, but overall nice. Alternate history.

does the engineer get gary mitchell-esque ESP powers? His eyes eerily remind me of that, and that they dont know where they are plays into the “where no man has gone before” TOS episode.
Dont know either, thx for that. Goldsworthy in general I enjoy a lot.
you should criticise the writers. a male protagonist would look equally bad in your eyes, I hope, unless you think the movie as shown was written perfectly for a male.
and if the plot is just badly written, what does it matter if male or female?
Suggesting that a woman role should reduce her to use her body as only one of two alternatives, is, well, saying she has not the same other talents as a man. And for that I see no reason.
one thing is totally beyond me, all this (including coming from this site) complaining about female protagonist roles. is that the only lens you see and judge movies, nowadays? not even for a second am I disturbed by Rey or Jyn…heck, if anything, women have a lot of catch up to do.
I am male, I dont like tfa or tlj a bit, I like R1. Is that the inner alt-right speaking, I cant understand it. Male or female, homo or hetero, what does it matter? Isnt the plot itself, the context, the overall believability important for judging? People complain about PC, and I am sure they have minorities in mind (how can they push Finn, how can they dare make someone important without having 100% hetero credentials), the good old world, if there were just someone who could make it great again.
All those groups attacked as PC have never got attention, and are by far not such a small minority in the first place, so I think they should catch up. But of course from having zero representation to the current level is a huge shock for people being accustomed seeing them, and only them. Time to get over that…and if the accusation is that PC is only for business reasons to target new groups…well, the old and for-such-a-long-time-only-group has been targeted by the same business for a long time. Nobody complained that that was PC, very strange.
There is Luke, Finn, Poe, Han, Kylo, Snoke, Chewie, Cassian, Vader, Tarkin, Krennic, the Intelligence General, Hux and whatnot, and still people find time to complain about female protagonists.
The world is 50+% female.
Funny, I never mind in a movie if a particular hero or villain is female or male, just if played well or not. But in real life I cant escape this discussion.
many thx for the encouraging replies.
As for BGG, I like the site, but I wont do that. I trust YG has it right and there will be a copy available, maybe even the one I would have paid for.
looks I am too late to the party. No option I can see to pledge, campaign closed. Shame on me…

very interesting reads from both perspectives.
Congratulations, 2015 Champion!
I really need to revisit this battle in the save files. I remember not clearly enough. Thx Juan.

2016 League Semi-final Rubioton wins vs Alex
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=39762.270Grats Rubi, again sorry that I cannot commit as befits a game at this stage, but you were on the way to winning, very likely.
it has been brought to my attention that I could have been clearer in my wording, and thats no problem: Rubi, I totally cede the game to you. Let there be no ambiguity that I just “dont have time enough”. I lost interest in competitive AA, for now, not for the first time, and forcing myself to a move every 7 days or so is not acceptable anymore, neither for Rubi nor for the other finalist, Me.
I think I was clear enough on who has the upper hand, anyway.
