Notes:
a = A Dictator may seek the Senate’s permission to Campaign with more than four double
legions (RRR 5.48). A Dictator cannot command armies and must remain in Rome if a Magister Equitum is used.
b = A Roman magistrate cannot Campaign with a Force larger than four double legions (RRR 5.23 and Note a above). Larger forces are allowed while defending (8.21 and 9.0) or as a result
of Coordination (8.25). The superior leader in the force is always treated as an OC for the purposes of 5.13 A and B.
c = May not enter Rome with force without the Senate’s Permission (RRR 5.42)
d = See 5.11 for a special exception for the Samnite and Pyrrhus scenarios
e = if the previous holder of the magistrate was Prorogued (RRR 5.35), place the magistrate either in Rome or with any force in their assigned province.
f = Each consul is treated as an Overall Commander for army command. Consuls cannot Campaign together. They may Intercept and participate in combat together. Use 5.44 to determine whose ratings are used.
g = May not be assigned to a province that is already assigned to another magistrate
h = Must roll for Senate permission to be assigned a province outside Romans Italy
i = A Consul that hasn’t been assigned a Province cannot be Prorogued (RRR 5.35)
j = A Proconsul may only be brought into play if there is a Consular army in a province that could not be commanded by another magistrate already in play.
k = If the consular army triggering the need is already assigned to another magistrate, the Roman player picks any other unassigned province.
l = A Praetor may only be brought into play or Prorogued if there is a double legion in a province that could not be commanded by another magistrate already in play. The number of Praetors in play is limited to 50% of the number of other non-Praetor magistrates in play.
m = Magistrates in besieged cities other than Rome are not removed and are subject to The Visit from Pluto. Consuls, Proconsuls, and Praetors may be Prorogued if eligible. Magistrates that
can’t be Prorogued and those the player chooses not to Prorogue are
removed from play when the Siege is resolved. Dictators, Magister
Equitum, and Consuls are treated as Proconsuls with the highest ranked
leader considered in command for the duration of the Siege. Ties give
the choice to the player.
