Hey, first time posting here. I read through the rules and was thinking I would love to join but then I read through this thread. Perhaps we could use Johnhoughtoms save in the 'Save Game Thread' in the EB forums. It has 7 family members, Southern Italy, Sicily and Northern Italy + Massalia as client states. The Polybian reforms have kicked in and there are no military troops except for Ligurians in Alpine border forts. I think it would be a perfect place to start.
