Quote from: daveparish on May 03, 2026, 12:14:51 PMIs the date for Malcolm's Spartans right? I couldn't make the allies match up. Is it by any chance the same as mine (Battle of Plataea) with the same allies?

Basically, yes, just what he initially submitted had a compleltey wrong date! It's correct and Plataea now
