Basileus Philadelphos Ptolemaios:

"Excellent! Then I shall reinstate him as the commander of the 1st Syrian Army. He may let them retrain and restock in Syria as planned, or he may order them in another direction, as he deems fit.

It should also be recognized that for his efforts to the kingdom and to his king, Leontiskos Thraikikos has now earned the rank of Strategos Hetairos! Let all men of the Council treat him with due respect."

From the Rules:

Strategos Hetairos
Requirements:
(1) Must have won more than 10 battles. Battles against brigands do not count.
(2) Must own an Estate.

If johnhughthom have fought more than 10 battles and they are just not listed in the Battle Reports thread then he may have that Rank. Thogh, in that case, when did he received the Strategos Epilektos rank?

Ignore that. Forgot that john was an Allied ruler for a short time.

Paul D - The game revolves around the communication between players. Whether it's in threads or in private. Without it it's just a big singleplayer campaign.
Also, during that time I think there was a busy naval trade between Alexandreia and Greece. So, it's always a chance to meet some merchant ships that travel in one of those directions. Also, considering the size of your fleet it's always possible to send one of your ships back with urgent messages.
