@toxicseagull and Zenith Darksea,
No need for abandoning your provinces in Greece, just keep one garrison unit there. Of all the times I´ve played the E´s only once has the M´s come over to the east side. They are more likely to focus on KH and take Thermon. By the time my initial coquering of the south Italian and Sicilian rebels you can afford two zones of conflict.
