I too am interested…but I’m a little unsure of the limitations of this event,
as ‘Modern Day Greece’ includes the southern coastline of ancient Thrace.
Can I assume that the requirements are as follows:- (a) Must be a Greek speaking army who’s homeland is in Greece, and
(b) Must contain several Hoplite elements, not counting allied Hoplites.
This would eliminate these armies:-The I/60c Early Achaemenid Persians, the II/30a Galatians, and the II/33 Polybian Romans,
all of whom fought in Greece, but were
not Greek speakers, did
not live in Greece, and
don’thave lots of Hoplites.
This would also eliminate the Macedonians and Alexander’s Successors, as Macedon is north of Thessaly,
and these don’t have lots of Hoplites either.
Likewise, the I/30a Dark Age Greeks don’t have any Hoplites, but they do have 4 x 3Bd.
And lastly it would eliminate the Byzantines, who
did speak Greek, who
did live in Greece,
but they too have no Hoplites.
But what about these armies?:-All the II/31 Hellenistic Greeks, who
did speak Greek, they
did live in Greece, but again no Hoplites
(apart from II/31h Athens, II/31i Eleians, and the II/31cd Spartans).
And would the II/31j Aetolians still be allowed, even though they have no Hoplites?
I think a lot of players will be bringing the II/5c Thebans with their 2 x 8Sp double-bases!
(Sorry to be such a pedantic nitpicker, but I don’t want to end up bringing the wrong army… )
