Unfortunately, the analysis of the winning units will have to be put on hold for the time being with the following release from our publisher:
In the late hours of the 5th of September as our scribes finished up their diligent work for the day, several armed intruders broke into the office and revealed themselves as disgruntled former contestants who proceeded to hold our scribes at sword point and the demanded money and that they be included in our releases and have threatened to kill the scribes if their demands were not met. Thankfully, the head editor was on duty that evening and had successfully negotiated the release of the hostages by conceding to their demands along with the provision of the demanded funds and some additional gifts to ensure that the incident did not escalate any further. The disgruntled contestants were content with the editor’s offers and exited the office without further incident although our staff were left more than a little shaken by the whole incident but expressed relief that the situation did not deteriorate any more than it already did.
Security has since been upgraded and work continues to progress on the analyses for last week’s winners with staff making up for lost time due to the nature of the hostage taker’s demands.
This week’s poll is now open, this time, we will delve into a special collection of units seldom seen, let alone used on the battlefield due to their rarity on the world stage.

You will all now vote on the next unit that you want broken down and analyzed. This time we take a look at some rather reluctant fighters.
In many locations during the Hellenistic Era, there were most certainly men who willingly fought either for glory, loyalty or for gold. However, the truth remains that the bulk of most armies were mustered using men who would rather till their fields and ply their trades in the urban centres and in the rural countrysides than fight for causes that they had little to no true stake in.
