   Summary

   There comes a point in every battle when the true challenge becomes maintaining your own army rather than defeating the enemy. After the first year had rolled past with no sign of Troy’s gilded walls giving way, Diomedes had shifted his focus somewhat; setting up more permanent supply lines back to Argos, and creating the proper infrastructure for food storage within the camp. Unnecessary, at that point, what with the constant raiding of Troy’s surrounding villages, but years of battle had taught him that it would become so at some point down the line.

   That point comes in the winter of the fifth year of battle.
