Tulifurdum, 428AD.
When the Franks and their Burgundian allies declared war on Rome, the empire was ready. Four fully provisioned legions crossed the Rhine in unison, each conquering a different settlement within the season. Forced on the defensive, and knowing that their armies were no match for the legions, the Frankish generals unified their forces into a single roaming horde almost 9000 strong.
This horde now has Legio III encircled in Tulifurdum. The settlement's supplies are low, and the defences are still half-destroyed from the Roman conquest. In a desperate, or perhaps overconfident move, Spurius Traianus sends Legio II to break the siege, and meets the Franks in the field. 3700 Romans face off against 9000 Franks; the legions have superior training and equipment, but is that enough against such overwhelming numbers?
