Spear or sword?

I'm having some difficulty deciding how to arm the Thespian Hoplites. Should they have swords? or should they be the standard hoplite with a 7-foot spear?

here are two images to aid your decision:

swordsmen

I say spear.

thinking about it, the best option is a combo between spear and sword...but not that too long spear!!!it would be better one a little bit short

hm, i guess a combo would be cool, although that is the accurate length gor the dora.

Also, do you think they should be mercenaries or not?

[tenerife_boy]

well, it depends if you are going to include the city of Thespia or not...;)

PD:why I can´t vote on this post? :(
