Just played this one with Bayernkini (I was the Spartans).
Considering the 2 card initial setup (for Spartans), the "surprise attack" is recreated very well.
Moreover Athenians attack first.
In addition Bayernkini had some good starting cards (Mounted Charge and Counter attack agains my own Mounted Charge).
The game ended 4-2 for Athenians with a total of 5 cards played.
Really fast but I really enjoyed it.

Played again with Michael...
this time the game ended after 3 cards (2 of which Athenians).
Michael managed to start with \"Line Command\" card and pursued my units with \"Order Medium\" card.
Spartans (me) did only some Battle Back and the game ended 4-1.
Maybe starting with only 2 cards is too much disadvantageous?
What do you think about it?

Played recently with stormwalker as part of Spartan Hegemony campaign (10 scenarios, so far 5 played).
The supposedly surprised Spartans were not surprised at all but bad rolls gave me a win.

Two Athenian victories, both 4-3. They took rather longer than the battles reported below. Neither side rolled well, and both had a shot at victory, to be let down by the dice. While exciting stuff, with only four banners to win it's a bit of a crap shoot.
