Koinon Hellenon: Athens X Sparta (.org X TWCenter), a participative AAR - Athenai

Just No was enough... You're the creator... I wouldn't have asked again... Thanks for your kindness anyways, I feel great now (sarcasm)

No, I meant, Let doros go with an army of 12 on one side of the island and Chremonides with 8 on another side

Yeah, sorry, I thought I'd erase everything after the "No" but I had already written most of it, so it felt like a waste of effort. Sorry again.

It would in theory be possible to have Doros with 12 units and Chremonides with 8, but I don't think such an army can be raised. There just isn't enough money to pay for it all.

Yes... But you could have 12+ unit armies separately, maybe if it would be strong enough it would be possible, however I will propose tomorrow.

And I meant the Prytaneis Boule as a council so that... Imagine the Spartans want that we help them with the Athenian army in a siege, They'd have to come here and propose here, you know. I just wanted to have some kind of an easier bond, but it's ok... Don't worry.

Keep in mind an army outside a city must be commanded by a general (family member), they can't be commanded by a captain.

We have 2 generals...?

Correct, Athens has 2 generals. Another one should be coming up soon, though.

Glaucos speaks next. It was clear to everybody that the last years took their toll on him.

I AGREE with the fleet building proposal. Further I would PROPOSE we build up our economy, basic port facilities in Kydonia seem to be the first choice. As we are likely not to be able to attack without the alliance army, I propose that the Athenian army takes a defensive stand for now, and gets ready to aid the alliance army if the need arises.

Also, I decline to run for party leader once more, I'm sure Paltmull could do a great job should he choose to accept this position (ooc: due to real life, I won't be able to commit as much time to this aar as it deserves.)

I AGREE with Glaucos. Furthermore, I would go so far as to PROPOSE that we don't attack any cities for a few years, and hold a very defensive position, making Demetrias a strong outpost with relatively large garrisons in Demetrias and in both forts. I also AGREE with Glaucos on the offensive matter, the only offensive action we should take should be to reinfore the Alliance army, if necessary.

[Paltmull]

I'm honored by your recommendation, but I am afraid that I too lack the time needed as I, due to an upcoming philosophy exam (yeah, IRL too ^___^), have quite a lot of studies to attend to at the moment . We will just have to hope that someone else steps up.

I AGREE with the proposals to focus more on our economy than our military. Having lost the Strategos office, we will not be able to do much anyway. However, we should keep a close eye at the events in Asia Minor. I PROPOSE that, if the Macedonian garrison at Lesbos would (for example through wars with Pergamon) be weakened enough that we could capture it with little effort, we should take the opportunity and strike immideately. Otherwise, we should let it be for now.
