Recap:
The Greeks have a beautiful opening hand 2xMounted Charges and a Double Time. They immediate plan to tempt the Spartan left into a crushing vice, and proceed to eviscerate them before the bronze units can throw their weight around. The Greeks open with a weakly supported advance on their right, the Spartans take the bait and it's on. Unfortunately, the innovation of arming your hoplites with moldy carrots and paper fans will not stand the test of time. Instead of crushing the Spartan salient, the Greeks gleefully throw themselves onto the Lacedaemonian pikes. The Greeks save a little face, but it's all over at that point.

Recap:
The opening hand is favorable for the Spartans, with an MC, line command and Order Medium. They'll get a double-time after the opening trade of missile fire. Nothing too cute here. The line command gets the bronze units into double time range, and they'll smash into the Spartan center and get busy. The action is brutal, and the Aristodemus eventually cashiers the remains of the Greek center pushed to the edge of the map.
