And last but not least, an example of a Spartan company leader much like he would have looked at the Battle of Thermopylae. The lambda-lettered shield was typical of Spartans or Lacedemonians as they were called. His spear is also a perfect replica of the standard hoplite spear with a "sauratir" (literally meaning lizard-killer) at the end of the bottom of the spear. This was mostly used by the last rows of the phalanx to stab the wounded enemies as they marched on. Ok, history lesson over :) Due to the fact that this project aims to be as accurate as possible, there's a chance it probably won't be completed until after the release of Mike 3 as we don't want to compromise the quality. So, after you get Mike3 you'll have approximately a week or so to train him! There's a further example of the hoplite complete with a morphed M3 at the link :)
