Gents,
Unfortunately I never got orders for Jim. While it may not have mattered this turn he may have benefitted from active play if the major Roman push east is any indication!
There is only one retreat: the Greek A Sinope can retreat to Bithynia or off the board. Tim, I've auto-retreated to Bithynia but if you let me know by the Thursday summer deadline you prefer OTB Tim it will be so changed.
Assuming no retreat changes, prelims are due Friday!
