Nice to see that the Persians need a good Greek to lead them to victory - no hope otherwise!
After all my tiny army held the 70,000 strong horde at bay for some time - even throwing out of the city when they thought they had won.
As for the 70,000 strong army of the Persians - that will be the strength in all the ballads and histories - never let the truth get in the way of a good song!

We do not sow.
come at me bro!
We do not sow.
Fox is a commander of a Persian army!
Time for a comeback....maybe :)?
I will get my orders in tomorrow!
I have orders from all of you, I just need more from FLL.
Rickinator, do you intend to send more?
Nah, those orders I sent some time ago is all I can do now...
rickinator9 is either a cleverly "hidden in plain sight by jumping on the random bandwagon" scum or the ever-increasing in popularity "What the is going on?" townie. Either way I want to lynch him. - White Eyes
Gentlemen, I need more details from FoxLeLay. Maybe some other Persians could help him, how detailed they should be.
He hasn't discussed matters with us much either. Unless he shows up, I'm afraid what he sent will have to do...
May
Northern Theatre
When Utana receives news about the Ionian landing at Perkote, he sends messages to all garrisons to prepare resistance and then hurries northwards to destroy the enemy. However, when he approaches the coast, the enemy is already gone. Utana sends patrols to search for the Ionians, but there is no sign of them. Only weeks later he receives a message that the enemy sailed back to Smyrna.
Central Theatre
The Ionian army gathers and resupplies near Smyrna, while the Persian army reorganizes at Sardis.
Southern Theatre
There is a Persian army gathering at Asia Minor. It is still waiting for enough transport ships. Triremes from Cyprus harasses the Persian sea routes and sink five triremes.
Greece
Sparta calls for a meeting of all Greek cities to discuss the situation at Asia.
A short and peaceful one this time. South is missing as I still need some info from Persia!!

I completed the last chapter.
Maybe you can give your orders until Satarday?
Just some comments:
Take a look at your naval combat drill books. It seems as if naval warfare is going to take a bigger part.
BTW Smyrna at the time was a bunch of scattered villages. It had been razed to the ground during the Lydian expansion ;)
i invented prefab walls and built a mighty fortress that would shame Troy
We do not sow.
So this is the reason why the Persians ordered this super gun called Big Bertha?
Two orders are already in (Persians).
i will be a bit delayed sorry. probably in tomorrow.
We do not sow.
Orders from the third Persian commander are missing. If I get them tomorrow, I will try to set up the next chapter before I go on holiday for three weeks.
Ceasefire for the next two weeks - I am off for holidays!!
