First do the obligatory chopping off of

	arcity.txt  to make it city.txt
	arrules.txt     ---    rules.txt


A little background info
and explanation of scenario's layout.

As the war began, all of the Peloponnesian forces were arrayed
against the Athenians, except Argos and a few towns of Achaea.
The great strength of the Spartan alliance lay in its splendid,
heavily armed infantry made up of Peloponnesians and Boetians.
This was two or three times the size of the Athenians' army
and more able and experienced.  
Sparta's strategy lay in liberating the rest of Greece from
Athen's control by 1. destroying her walls, 2. destroying her
fleet, and 3. by destroying her empire, which helped support
the navy.  I have tried to include some islands here in the NW
Cyclades, but they will probably matter little in the game. 
That is why I have also thrown in (to try and make it more
interesting) some ships with settlers in the oceans.

Most units in place at the start of this game are defensive, which
mirrors the technique of NOT using force to take most cities
that the Greeks used.  Instead they relied upon sieges, not
very fun in this game.  So offensive weapons are a must soon,
as the few provided will not be enough.  

Though the Athenians ran back inside their city walls, it would
not be accurately represented in this game, so a force in Athens
would best be used outside of the city.
The force of Spartans in NE Attica actually occurs somewhat later,
but a little bending of actual history is needed to make the game
more interesting.  
The Theban troops heading towards Plataea (as is the small band 
that is captured trying to take the town by surprise) are the initial
causes of the war, and the first invasion followed the next spring.
These Spartan troops ravaged western Attica before the advanced to 
Athens, and eventually made it to the southernmost tip, capturing
the Athenians' rich silver mines (capitalization with some slave
labor here) at Laurion.  

Euboea is an ally here not the dependant that she should be, and
if not for a glitch in building the scenario, the Athenians would
have to fight for the island of Aegina which is already a possesion
in this scenario.  The real Aeginateans were expelled by the Athenians
and given a new home by the Spartans.

Good luck.
This is my first scenario so please bear with me.
