Rome will stand and fight.
How do we set this up?

Go Rome! Romans can call on local help can't they?
Yes, through Calling for Allies: It is possible that allies may bolster an army’s ranks on the eve of battle. For each friendly-controlled spaceat or adjacent to the site of battle, that side may roll a d10 on the Reinforcement Table.
So, as far as I understand it, the sides can call for Allies from the following cities:
ROME: Asculum & Maleventum
PYRRHUS: Canusia & Venusia (+2 die roll modifier as it's a Samnite city) -- all Pyrrhus Die rolls also get +1 modifier for General's Greekling Trait.

PYRRHUS: Canusia & Venusia (+2 die roll modifier as it's a Samnite city) -- all Pyrrhus Die rolls also get +1 modifier for General's Greekling Trait.
Bloody Greeklings... grumble
That's correct.
Also: it's not clearly outlined in the rules (however, Map Type is mentioned before Force Size therein), but what makes most sense: to do Map Type roll (2d10) before or after Calling Allies has been done?
BATTLE OF ASCULUM
CALLING ALLIES
ROME
1. Asculum - Die roll: 8 = + 1 strength point
2. Maleventum - Die roll: 6 = +1 strength point

Excellent!
Since:
Pyrrhus 280-275 BC with Samnite 355-272 BC allies (1600 FP) versus Roman 280-220 BC (1480 FP) on Mediterranean Agricultural terrain.
Password: ASCULUM
Since:
- Strength difference is 3 in Pyrrhic favour, the Pyrrhic side will have 1600 FP and the Roman 1480 FP. (+40 FP difference for each strength difference).
- Allies were successfully called from Samnite cities for both sides, both sides must use Samnite 355-272 BC allies, if they are available in the TT Mod. And if I recall correctly, only the Pyrrhic army list has Samnite allies as an option.
Pyrrhus 280-275 BC with Samnite 355-272 BC allies (1600 FP) versus Roman 280-220 BC (1480 FP) on Mediterranean Agricultural terrain.

Challenge accepted, good luck.
The GM can now put his feet up, chill out and wait for the battle to play out.
Thanks, you too.
I hope so.
