Meanwhile, during war council in the bunker back at Boviamum:
Pyrrhus: Sorry, you've got to go at the end of this year.
A(le)xander: Eh?
Pyrrhus: Yes, you're genuinely miserable at sieging.
A(le)xander: But I've won three field battles for you, crushing the Romans twice this year alone!
Pyrrhus: That too.
A(le)xander: Now I don't really understand...?
Pyrrhus: You see? Third reason for dropping you.
Pyrrhus: NO ONE CAN BE GREATER THAN PYRRHUS THE-YET-NO-SO-GREAT! I'M DESTINED TO SURPASS ALEXANDER, BUT HOW CAN I WHEN MY GENERALS DO THAT BEFORE ME?!?
... to be continued...
Last words of A(le)xander are not yet said....

Let's see how they behave, Samnite rabble.

That language won't get you anywhere with the Samnites. You should continue to pursue your 'candied testicles in lark's vomit' style of diplomacy instead.

… Now they are…
… He uttered none.
A clear message to all Italians and residents in Sicily: General A(le)xander now sleeps with the fishes.
Pyrrhus has no tolerance for failure. Or for (other people’s) success. He is destined to become known a history’s first really Bad Boss. Management by Fear.
