Romans take the royal bath this turn, as Sardinia falls to the Carthaginians, Ravenna becomes a home away from home for the Greeks, and they’re booted out of Athens by the Persian navy.

What lies ahead for the besieged Spartans? With 4 fleets surrounding of 3 different nationalities, will the Greeks live to build once more? And what’s going to happen to the love-fest in the desert – Can the Egyptians and Carthaginians share the same pyramids forever?

Find out – in 2 weeks! As one player is on vacation.

Friday July 17 is our next deadline for Fall 05. 6pm Central / 2300 GMT.

PS – there was one retreat, but Roman F Athens could only go to Epirus so I just nudged it there. Aidan, if you prefer OTB let the group know w/in 48 hours else the retreat will stand.

Enjoy,
