2000 point Greek army

The Greeks fought mainly amongst themselves but also had to resist Gallic and Persian invasions. Indeed the Greeks did so well against the Persians that they became much in demand as mecenaries (the Persian empire being very wealthy) and fought in Persian armies against Alexander the Great, when he invaded Persia.

A tough army whose main strength is the phalanx but is also limited, as this phalanx can only charge straight ahead. The Spartans are one of the strongest infantry units in the entire game. If you like you could imagine the Spartan Sacred Band, as a Kings (the Spartans had two Kings at the same time) bodyguard, ready to die to the last man.
