The German front has been tumultuous ever since war began between the Empire and her former Marcomannic and Alemannic underlings. The XXX and XXII Legions were quick to strike upon the opening of hostilities, laying siege to Uburzis and preparing for an assault the following season. This was thrown awry by the arrival of two Geatish armies from the north, initiating a 3-way standoff. In a move of strategic wit, commander Flavius Eutychianus ended his siege and withdrew southwards, allowing the barbarians to fight among themselves as the winter set in.
When the legions returned the following spring, the Alaman army had been ravaged and Uburzis was practically free for the taking. The Germans were quickly resubjugated, and a portion of the vassal network re-established. The Marcomans were smarter, offering the Empire a hefty sum for peace, which was accepted.
Following this, the Legions spent about a year holding position and rotating westwards for refit, which proved timely. For the Geats have once again forayed south. Vettius Praetextatus and the newly-refitted I legion now march against them, hoping to re-strengthen ties with the Alamans in joint battle.
