480 BC. Greece: In a desperate attempt to block the Persian advance into Greece, the outnumbered but determined Greek fleet attempts to trap the Persians.
Description:
Greek General Themisticles observed that "Without control of the sea, no foreign army could survive on Greek soil" and noted that "the Greek fleet near Salamis in the Saronic Gulf would do whatever it took to keep Athens and Sparta free." We reached out to Persian King Xerxes, but he declined to comment on the ongoing operation in Greece. Please be prompt. Rules will be explained at the start, and we will have 2 GMs to keep things moving so victory, defeat, the fate of the west, and bragging rights can be determined.
