       I propose that 12 new legions be created, joined with the 4 legions 
       currently in Rome, and all sent immediately under the command of our 
       Field Consul to prosecute the 1st Gallic War. How vote you, Noble 
       Senate?

     Vote order:
       Part 1:  Build 12 Legions
     Lupus        Note Bene        Aenean        Alba        Stoics
                                   YEA (7)                   YEA (6)

     Valerius makes the following proposal:  
        "I propose the raising of 13 new legions."

     Voting Order:
     Aenean       Nota Bene        Lupus        Alba        Stoics

                  NAY (6)          NAY (10)     NAY (8)

The motion fails:  13 to 24.

     Valerius, rebuffed twice, brings forth another proposal:  
       To have any chance at all against the Carthaginian navy, all of our 
       treasury must be used to build a navy. Therefore, I propose the
       building of 19 fleets.

     Voting Order:
     Aenean       Nota Bene        Lupus        Alba        Stoics

     NAY (7)

The motion passes 30 to 7. 
     Add fleets I - XIX to force pool

Valerius, a man of action, wastes no time:  
  "I propose that the Field Consul and all 19 fleets set sail to battle the 
   Carthaginians."

     Aenean       Nota Bene        Lupus        Alba        Stoics
