Progess against the Greek
forces



Summer, The Year of Our Lord 1090

It is a quiet July day, our forces replenished, up to 2,700 men, our largest ever. We are marching down from the North-West to attack the
Byzantine emperor, whom has a force with just slightly less men; roughly 2,500 men in his army, much of them mobile, but with a strong
Infantry force and a powerful Bodyguard of 90 men, it is easy to see why he is a respected and feared adversary. We will need the
strength of all or our men to defeat him.

In the southern half of Greece, which used to be home to such great cities as Sparta and Athens, only Corinth is of Value. Roughly 400
Greek soldiers reside there. We have sent more troops from Ragusa, along with Militia from Irakllion and the Ballistas from Durazzo, to
combine with one of our younger generals. It may be a while before Corinth falls, but it will, in the name of God.

The Greek sea forces are also suffering. They are barely enough for our Galleys and War Galleys, and they will be kiled as such. It is only
a matter of time before the Greek navy is at the bottom of the sea, and our Naval dominance is recognized.

A small force from Rhodes has been ordered to land in Asia Minor and take a small town near the South-west coast, before the Turks do.
It actually HAS walls, so it may be difficult.


Our force is, as I said, our largest yet. We have:
8 150-man Spear Militia Regiments
4 150-man Slav Mercenary Regiments
2 80-man Mailed Knight units
5 120-man Archer units
1 75-man General unit

for a total of:2,635 men.


With that many soldiers, and the courage of Venice and will of God residing in each and every one, Victory is inevitable. The Byzantine Emperor had better watch himself.

Well, I just ran onto this today. It is interesting. I do not know if one person will matter to you though. I do indeed know how much work is needed to do these things.
