Did I lock my own topic? I don't recall doing so but if so...woops.

Couldn't really expect anything more from a scrubbian like you could we? Welcome back buddy, been far too long overdue. Besides, you get your squishy little Corporal back as well :3

You can kiss your rank and command goodbye if you don't attend more.

I support this notion #DesparinForSerjeant

What about the Epirus? I have never ever heard of them before. Not sure what is so great about them.

They were a greek state that laid where Greece and Albania exist nowadays and they were a frontier of Greece, i believe Megas Alexandros mother was from Epirus.

That seems to ring a bell with me too

I think Pyhrrus, King of Epirus beat the Roman Army, taking heavy losses, creating what is now called a "Phyrric Victory".

Random Fact - Achilleus' (less modern translation) son is called Pyhrrus (also, Neoptolemus). He ended up killing Priam as described by Aeneas in the Aeneid.

There were actually only ever a maximum of around 10,000 Spartiates (Citizens and Soldiers) at any one time, and at least half of these always remained in Sparta to prevent the slaves from revolting. Personally though I almost prefer their political system to the Athenian "Democracy", which left their system far more open to corruption and demagogue rule.

Once I gather up the cash to pre-order I'll probably go Spartan.

I believe the 10,000 Spartan citizens which made up the bulk of their armed forces were called Homoioi -  effectively "Men of equal status". They were not involved with manual labour and had the most freedom and power within the Spartan society.

Next comes the Perioikoi - they carried out the majority of tasks revolving around commerce and trade - the Homoioi were forbidden to do this too T__T

Lastly comes the Helots (poor sods). Basically enslaved populations who were tied to the land they worked by the Spartan state.

I think there were also Hypomeiones who were Homoioi who had lost their status within the society - not so sure on that last one though so may need to refresh my memory.

Then again I am recalling this from my Classical Civilisations  classes at A level so anyone please correct me if I'm wrong :3

By the way I've managed to secure artillery slots for our new boys for the next 3 days. 2 cannons tomorrow but only 1 on Friday and Saturday.

That reminds me, I'll be doing a separate roster for the Arty detachment. However, I do firstly need to secure their names and ranks and whatnot.

P.S. I've also written something of a small essay apologising to you know who... PM'd you the message so you can read it through
