Diplomats,



Fleets in Athens and Ravenna for the Greeks and Romans, respectively. Meanwhile Egyptian strategists elect to bank their build.




FYI, I will be home again as of the next adjudication for a few weeks, so you can generally expect my more timely process of adjudicating during that period.




Prelims are due in 18 hour. Please do get them in!










Dirk
