Nik made me wonder about the 478 BCE allies for a spartan army .
So in 478 BCE the Spartans may have Athenians and other Greek allies . The text as it is written now stipulates ( 2 contingents ) . Nik pointed out that it would be 2 mandatory contingents minimum and maximum. So my question is simple what is the intend : UP TO 2 contingents or 2 mandatory contingents :)
2 mandatory - I checked with RJC 8)
Based on the battle of Plataea? My question is, if that's the case shouldn't it be 479 BCE?
It should. Oops. One for the errata.
It could be argued that at Thermopylae, the persians faced a greek " alliance" of multiple allies so 480-478 BCE ? even if Termopylae was a very special "battle"

In the 2022 lists I was thinking of allowing the Spartans a single ally of minor states in 480 BCE.
