The Struggles of Xerxes

Xerxes had come down off of the acropolis in Athens and he had found a nice place to set up shop. He was going to look at the straights of salamists that would get you in and out of the bay of illusius which is a pretty big bay. The men in the boats were the ones who were going to decide how this was going to work out but that opening position where everybody is at on the game board when the opening gun fires also will determine a whole lot about how this works out or another question is just if there's going to be a battle at all.
