KMC Forums - Spartans run the Gauntlet

Okay, these arent the Spartans from 300 but from the novel: Gates of Fire.

These Three Hundred champions run the Gauntlet, they have all their standard equip. and squires who bear their spare weapons including:

5 xiphos(short swords), 8-footers(spears) and shields of bronze for every Spartan.
2 cuirass breastplates and sets of armor for each Spartan.

They fight in the Gates of Fire, or the Hot Gates, the narrow corridor which at its narrowest can only fit a dozen men into it at a time. (Oh and just in case someone thought about flanking them via the goat path, theyve actually just dispatched Classic Juggernaut over there to defend it.) big grin
