(Has anyone ever had Spartan eleutheroi appear in a Sparte rebellion? I'm imagining a unit or two of rebel Spartans with double-silver chevrons and gold equipment upgrades... brrrrrr...)
Unfortuneately, according to the EB Units List...

...Spartan hoplites do not appear on the Elutheroi unit list... This strikes me as being a little odd given that things like Hellenic Cataphracts and Cohors Evocata appear on their list, but it effectivelu means that Elutheroi Spartan Hoplites cannot appear even if Sparte rebels...
