If the German will not let me in I blockade the city. (This is done not to annoy the German but to make sure my fleet does not die.) If it is legal, and I'm not sure it is, I instead provide supply to the two German/Armenian units in Tarsus. If in the interpretation of the rules I can't do any either of the two safety mechanisms detailed I move to Latakia instead.

Flander's men at Hamah have secured our LOC to the coastal cities! <> Squire: No my lord <> Raymond: No? What do you mean no? <> Squire: There are no Christians at Hamah, only infidel, and the northern route is blocked by the Mosul Turks in Maresh. We are cut off. <> Raymond: But the dispatches we received were quite clear that a small force of Flanders' men had been sent to Hamah. <> Squire: The initial dispatches said that, true my lord. However, there seems to be a discrepency. In the summary of dispositions we received later, they are noted as going to Baalbek. <> Raymond: Baalbek? What in the name of our Saviour are they doing there? BAAALBEK!!! <> Squire: Baalbek <> Raymond: Then we will have to do the job ourselves.
