Yes, that's correct.

So much for been hiddem, oh well.
Diplomacy on Bovianum.
Diplomacy on Bovianum.
@kronenblatt It's a glitch in the rules that I would change -- same with Pyrrhus being able to deploy in Sicily at start without risking perils of naval operation (he would have had to sail his force across in winter)
What do you suggest?
Yes, that's true. I believe it's part of the original rules from Little Wars, but may need tweaking, maybe to only be able to deploy armies in Italy (and not Sicily) at start of turn.
Maybe only reveal by GM if it affects the result -- like prevent continued.
Or only reveal that army has 13+ points without revealing actual strength?
Yes, both would work and are good ideas (the first one would then apply to other aspects as well, e.g., generals' traits). Let's use them going forward.
As a separate question: should army sizes be revealed when armies make contact and before decision about retreats are made? Or should players have to decide upon retreats without knowing the enemy army's size (unless known before, of course), and then only be revealed when it's time for the actual battle?

No, I think once they are in contact, scouts will give a good idea generally of enemy army size?
Fair enough.

Yes, both armies would have had scouts.
Can use generals that way even if there not on the same box?
Pyrrhus is in command of the army in Sicily.
Yep, otherwise I couldn’t have made it.
And that was another way of not keeping things hidden…
Pyrrhus plays SIEGE operation at Syracuse.
(Modifiers: Regional capital: -2, 3rd Attempt: +4, Engineer Trait +1) Die roll: 1 + 3 = 4 Siege operation FAILS.
Pyrrhus must have somehow angered the Goddess of Dice Rolls ... or the Greeks really suck at siege warfare
