Marching to the Sea (a twisted RAR)

Post by The Yosemite Bear »

The combined population of SDN finds it's self in William T. Sherman's troops, which have been transported to Spartcus' Rebellion. Just to make things even worse for slavery We all know we have to sack Rome, or wind up crucified along the Appian Way.

So can we keep Sherman's forces supplied with enough materials to break Rome?

Sherman's troops made the march with 200 rifle rounds and 200 shells per man and gun in the corps trains, I'm not sure if this figure is actually reserve ammo or reserve plus what was carried with the weapons but should be enough to beat the Romans. Sherman had 65,000 men after all and I'm pretty sure the Roman forces in Italy only massed to around 50,000.
