Acarnanian Campaign (CYOAH!3)

The summer of 429 BC begins with the Spartan invasion of the Greek northwest, in an attempt to force the Athenian allies of Acarnania, Zacynthus, and Cephallenia to submit to a quick peace. The Athenians look on from the strategic naval base at Naupactus, which gives them control over the Gulf of Corinth.

The Spartans have managed to move 1,000 hoplites and 2,000 allied troops into the region and have begun laying siege to the city of Stratus, while the Athenians have yet to budge from their stronghold at Naupactus.

The siege is going well, however, the march to Stratus has left the Spartan flank open from attack from Acarnania. Additional troops are at our disposal on the opposite side of the Gulf of Corinth. Perhaps they could be ferried across to attack Acarnania from the coast, preventing Stratus from being relieved.


 * Continue the siege, and prepare to fight back against a potential relief force.
 * Ferry additional men across to attack Acarnania from the coast, attacking them from two sides.
