    Default Re: How to recreate the Battle of Termopylae?

    1 x Spartiatai Hoplitai
    (Representing the Spartans)
    2 x Akontistai
    1 x Sphendonetai
    (Representing the Helots)
    5 x Hoplitai
    5 x Hoplitai Haploi
    5 x Ekdromoi Hoplitai
    (Representing the Hoplitai of the other Greek allies, some weaker, some stronger)

    = 19 Units.


    For the Persians you take the Arche Seleukeia:

    Stack 1

    7 x Persian Archers (representing the Persian archers)
    4 x Eastern Skirmishers (representing the Persian skirmishers)
    5 x Different Axe and Hillmen (Representing different light infantrymen)
    4 x Eastern Cavalry and Persian heavy cavalry (Representing Persian Cavalry)

    Stack 2

    4 x eastern slingers (representing the Persian skirmishers)
    5 x Parthian Spearmen (representing the Immortals)
    11 x Several kinds of light and medium Infantry (Representing the Persian infantry)


    Somewhat like that ^^ I'm not referring to Herodot's numbers, but to the opinion, that the Persions were not THAT much outnumbering the Greeks
