Giving him Spartan troops seems somewhat extreme, especially considering the small amount of mercenaries he apparently arrived with. If I've got time I'll try to look around for more details, but at first glance I'd have thought realism would be better served by a group of regular hoplites; or perhaps a random type of bodyguard, ranging from Spartans to peltasts (or even no Xanthippus at all), keeping in line with EBs motto that the starting position is correct, but the rest of history isn't predetermined?Originally Posted by Eduorius
