GROUND
Our men have continued to improve their reputation among the nations as army after army of Greek, Carthaginian, Barbarian, and Italian men have been repelled from our borders. In the west, the Council of the Koinon Hellenon decided to launch a surprise invasion of Italia in an attempt to keep the fighting (and its ensuing devastation) off of Hellenic lands. In the east, the armies of the Koinon have been tasked to hold the line as the main push in Anatolia and eastward has been for the development of infrastructure both economically and militarily.
Military
I Corps, led by the head of the council Erchelaos Rhodios, has continued to garrison the Dacian region and hold in check any southern movement by the Carthaginians and Epirotes. The only two noteworthy happenings in Dacia
1.The summer 189 besieging of Singidunum.

The city was besieged by a molossian man named Diodoros Sasonios. He is a very young man compared to his adversary in this battle, and looking at the vnumbers of troops probably came to Singidunum without orders.
This engagement is not important for the number of men killed, as the enemy withdrew as soon as our leader sallied forth. This engagement was the first use of horse archers outside of their normal regions. The horse archers proved themselves worthy archers as they are quickly able to get behind the enemy lines to fire salvos into the back of the enemy.
2. The besieging in Winter of 188, this force was much larger with 2 Epirote family members; nevertheless the battle was a slaughter and Erchelaos showed enough prowess to be recognized as one of the leading strategists of the day
The men of
II Corps have been busy, as always, chopping and jabbing through thousands of enemies both Ptolemaic and Seleukid. During this time period II Corps was engaged in a major battle almost every season.
Spring 189 - Antiocheia
Summer 189 - Tarsos
Spring 188 - Antiocheia pitted Xenon's II Corps against a 21-year-old Makedonian. The battle had even numbers but a combination of Xenon's experience in leading, his hardened troops, and the Makedonian's lack of heavy cavalry proved to be the downfall of this army and it's Pezhetairoi. Below, Xenon stabs into the backs of these ill-supported phalangites
Summer 188 - Tarsos
Winter 188 Xenon laughed at the pitiful excuse for an army outside the walls of Antioch. He was so let down by the puny army that he let a captain command(Auto-resolve) and instead of fighting went inside to challenge his wise advisor to a wargame.
The only problem facing the II Corps is the lack of a steady supply of heavy cavalry. Xenon has recently attempted to fix this problem, sending a demand west for 2 more units of heavy cavalry to be trained and sent east, so that he could maintain the heavy cavalry attachments.
The
III Corps' actions have been few and far between thanks to the mountain pass fort just east of Mazaka. Seleukid armies have constantly stalked around behind the fort but only twice have they moved past it towards the city and III Corps.
Fall 188 - Mazaka sally
Winter 188- sally again
After securing Taurica in 190 the
IV Corps has been taking a well deserved rest. Except for the useless attempt at a siege in the summer of 189 peace has reigned in Taurica.
Summer 189 -
The elite troops of IV Corps have been sent back to the mainland for refitting and some R&R. Hero has taken this opportunity to run extensive exercises using the horse archers, learning, from their commanders, the way of the steppe. After his core greeks return he is hoping to integrate these horse archers into the Corps in such a way as to become a more flexible and lethal instrument to be used against the enemies of the Koinon. Some of the more liberal members of the Council have already extended him an invitation, if this new Corps is successful, to demonstrate the possibilities of this integrated corps before the full Council.
The
V Corps, commanded by Demophilos Eleusinios(son-in-law of II Corps' Xenon), was almost as busy as II Corps. It seems the Ptolemaioi regions located near Alexandreia have been experiencing some unrest as word spreads of the benevolence of our government, (Alexandreia was immediately granted high status in the Koinon as a tier II city, whereas most cities brought into the Koinon begin in the IV tier and must slowly work up, it was given this high status so as to generate unrest). This unrest has forced the Ptolemaias to double their efforts in trying to remove the Koinon from their homeland. This has been a tremendous help to the II Corps as the armies fighting V Corps are not joining with the Seleukid's in the north. here are the battles
Fall 190 - This battle was where Demophilos knack for using missile units really began to show. His constant recruiting of Kretan Archers, and good implementation of javelin cavalry is beginning to pay dividends as units of missile units gain one battlefield commendation after another(chevron)

The local mercenary pez were able to hold the line as missile units and heavy infantry flanked the oposing phalangites.
Winter 189 -
Spring 188 -
Summer 188 - Summer of 188 saw a numerically equal fight, the only difference was the use of a group of elephants by the Ptolemaiois. Of course with all of the missile units upgraded and experienced the elephants were quickly disposed of.
Fall 188 - Demopholis was called away to Olympia to compete in the games, and got first place in the javelin throw!

SEA
The Koinon Navy has conducted itself very honorable during this time period.
While sailing between Helikarnassis, and Alexandreia, with reinforcements, this pirate navy was spotted off the coast of Salamis. It was deemed far enough off that no worry was made. However these pirates were able to whip there men into sailing farther than we had anticipated. The pirates engaged and the Koinon Admiral, Androkles, was so ready for battle that is was as if there was no way he could retreat even if he wanted to. The result was a glorious victory for the Koinon.
