Alexandros takes his turn on the floor

I am in agreement with much that has been said here so far, particularly the words of our esteemed chancellor Phanias Lydikes. The way I see it, we have two main goals at this point: to drive south and push back Ptolemy and to secure the whole of Asia Minor. These objectives should not be difficult to attain, but they lead to the question of what will we do afterwards? Will we continue to march into Aegyptos and send Ptolemy the way of the Pontus or divert our attention to Hellas or even the east? I for one am in favor of the Southern option, and so I second Edicts 4.3 and 4.4. The 1st Parthian army should be sent back east as soon as possible to aid in the defense of the lands it was recruited to defend, but I would not be against the raising of another force to bolster our ranks in the south. The last thing any of us wants it to have our armies stretched thin.
