Allies is ostensibly based on the fact that the Greek Army is not equipped for the field, and on his fear that the Greeks of Asia Minor would be massacred by the Turks, continues to mark time.

Lambros, Professor of History in the University of Athens, to form a new Ministry. l5L Lambros is still trying to do this.
