Thanks for your comments -- yes love the Byz empire and specifically the many alt history options -- Maurice - Manizkert - Basil 2 has a son / assigns a comp ruler - Yarmuk
Anyway I though of him securing Anatolia then going west -- however i think the hostility from Venice - HRE - Papacy - etc would create so many negative alternatives that at least one secure front was important. The peace with Normans (for now) the continued vs aborted drive vs Zengi -- the peace with Raymond which leaves Edessa stronger -- seems things just flow.
Anyway thanks for your suggestions -- will look at logistics thanks
