## Features

- Hoplite allows players to recreate classic battles from the pre-Alexandrian Persian-Hellenistic Age. This period is often considered to feature the birth of Western Warfare, as opposed to the Persian/Eastern style which relied on archery, light cavalry, and mobility.
- Exactly how hoplite warfare was fought is highly disputed by ancient military historians, even today. Hoplite allows you to test out your theories with eleven of the great battles of this era.
- You'll also get to fight what was the biggest land battle in European history up until Napoleonic times: the immense Battle of Plataea (truly the deciding engagement of the Greco-Persian Wars).
- The package includes simple "Great Battles of History" versions for each of the battles along with special rules that highlight the hoplite style of warfare.
