A response to the Athenian posturing...

So, the Athenians have been posting army lists, and have already begun to form their armies.

In light of such aggresive actions, the only possible response for Sparta is to respond in kind.

My planned 400 point list looks something like this...

Good Command Structure (20)

1 Re-Roll- (5)

Good General (20 pts)

Spartan Hoplite (VBU 6)- Large Unit- (53)

Spartan Hoplite (VBU 6)- Small Unit- (33)

Allied Hoplite (VBU 5)- Large Unit- (39)

Peltasts (VBU 4)- (20)

Skitari (VBU 3)- (17)

Good General (20 pts)

Spartan Hoplite (VBU 6)- Large Unit- (53)

Allied Hoplite (VBU 5)- Large Unit- (39)

Greek Cavalry- (VBU 4)- Hamippoi- (26)

Greek Cavalry- (VBU 4)- Hamippoi- (26)

Slingers- (VBU 2)- (12)

Skitari (VBU 3)- (17)

While it might not be in as fancy a table as those Athenians, it tells you all you need to know (in spartan style!). I have some thoughts about using lost of small units of the Disc A Spartans, but I am thinking that this is a good starting point for the army.

And as for starting to build an army, the first Spartans are on the painting table!
