The Hoplites would definately be the unit i would most like to go to war behind, simply because of their effectiveness against large numbers, even in small groups. They were equipped with a seven and a half to nine feet spear, which was so sharp that it could apparently cut through a 10 inch thick iron shield :O. They were also armed with a Phalanx Sword, which was behind their shield to allow them to fight if the phalanx broke up. They also had a "slashing sword" upon them, which was used for charging. Altogether the Hoplites are the best cos they are armed to the teeth, and are the elite of the elite.
Gah.
No.
Very no.
Do your damn homework, at least.
