Archidamus invades Attica (CYOAH!3)

Spartan forces begin the war by launching an invasion of Attica. The surrounding countryside is easily ravaged and pillaged, although it soon becomes clear that the Athenians have no intention of fighting the Spartans in the field. Instead Athenian forces hold out in the city, while farmers relocate to the confines of the Long Wall, which stretches from Athens to the coast.

Furthermore your commanders point out that the Spartans must return to their lands to participate in the harvest, and to keep the helots under control.


 * Continue the ravaging, but returning frequently to Sparta.
 * We must bring the fight directly to Athens.
 * Abandon Attica and fall back to the peninsula.
