It is now 403BCE (political correctness ptah!) and Athens and Sparta do battle again using Sword and Spear rules.
Achaen League hoplites protect the left flank of the Spartan Hoplites
Spartan helots protect the flank of their main battle line.
Achaen League cavalry move to the left flank.
With the Dorians having lost one taxis of hoplites and with their flank in danger, the end is near.
The Achaen League hoplites destroy thei opponents on contact (woosie Athenians), expiosing their opposite flank. Meanwhile the Spartan Helots fight off the Thessalian light cavalry.
Now down two hoplites and with the Athenian Elite Hoplites almost destroyed the Dorians sue for peace and are allowed to return home at the cost of the “long walls” being destroyed.
Today the Spartans return home with their shields.
Looks like there was plenty of action, Dave! 🙂
it was a great game. I had forgotten how good these rules are.
Lots of minis for a big battle! 🙂
