OP: HOPLITE
Milsim event at TANKS Paintball
April 23rd 2017
SYNOPSIS
The Greek states have been at war for thousands of years. Hoplites have traded their spears and shields for rifles and camouflage.
Just recently, the city states of Sparta and Athens united with the kingdom of Epirus to the Northwest and the kingdom of Macedon to the Northeast to defeat yet another invasion of the hordes of the modern Persian empire. A nuclear strike by Sparta at Thermopylae has saved Greece for now.
With Persia defeated, the Greeks have once again turned on each other. Macedon's new king Alexander has renewed dreams of once again ruling Greece, Pyrrhus of Epirus has just been defeated by modern Rome and is looking to rebuild his hurt pride. Sparta and Athens have declared war on each other yet again over a perceived insult from Leonidas the king of Sparta to Perseus, leader of Athens.
Each of these great Greek states have been at war for thousands of years now, into the modern age. Who will dominate the heart of civilization and spread the influence to the rest of the world?
