Post; Spartans


Anybody play Spartans yet? Just got this one. Any tips or tricks would be nice to know. Looks like a great game for the ancient warfare enthusiast.

Sorry, Redleg, meant to get back to you sooner about this. I'd just bought it when I created this topic and wanted a chance to check it out before I replied. I made a mistake, btw, the topic title should be "Spartan" without the "s". It's a game from VP Games in the UK and is available for both PC and Mac. It's a fairly complex but not overwhelmingly so game of strategy, plans, diplomacy and tactics based on the ancient Spartan city state's army. Excellent graphics and game play. I highly recommend it.
