Hi all, this is my second AAR, after Yes Khan. I am playing the Byzantines in the year 867 in Ironman mode.
Unlike "Yes, Khan!" which was more comedic, this post deals with more science fiction themes. If you want to read a more historical fiction post on the Byzantine AAR, you should try the Komnenian Restoration.
So here are the chapters:
