Sparta attacks

Cleomenes has taken a force of Spartans, Corintians, Arcadians and Boetians into Attica and ravaged the country-side. They did not have the campaign points to launch a siege assault. Meanwhile, Brasidas went to Corinth to manage the fleets - he only has 9 campaign points a turn, I am not really sure what I can do with him. At the end of the campaign phase I picked him up and put him in Ambracia (he took a fast bireme?) so he can bring those distant fleets to a port where they will not incur maintenance costsThe Spartan treasury has gone down from 65 to 42.

Today Greece is a province of the IMF aka. world wide usury. If they had any balls they would have done an Iceland and told the bankers where to insert their debt. But I guess Greek courage was also expended in the Peloponnesian War.

That reads like the last paragraph of the S&T article: the conflict effectively destroyed the Greek world politically. Within a hundred years they began their 2 millennia of being a province of someone else's empire.

Isn't it the case, historically, that later in the war Sparta allied with Persia. That sort of does it in for Sparta, as far as any moral claim goes. Sparta may have won the war, but the Glory of Greece was destroyed.
