What problems did the Greeks have during the battle of Troy?
The Greek expedition was a looting one. A rich trading city like Troy was their primary target, but without a siege train they could not breach the walls, and they did not even have the resources to lay siege and starve it out.
So after their initial assault failed, they went off looting the eastern Mediterranean coast for the next nine years.
After they had taken the best pickings, they returned in the 10th year for the richest prize - another attempt on Troy. Again they failed to capture the city, and the legend says that they got a party inside the city wall by the wooden horse ruse, opened the gates and captured the city.
