List Building for Hoplite Armies in ADLG

<p>Despite being very much the textbook Classical era warrior, Hoplites often suffer from being the baseline 'man with sharp stick' troop-type who's battlefield capabilities underpin a vast array of far more interestingly-armed and equipped infantrymen in the troop-type taxonomy of ADLG, and indeed in many other previous rulesets as well. </p> <p>This ADLG Listbuilding Podcast seeks to pan for gold amongst the broken pottery shards of Greek military history, and in so doing possibly tease out a few different ways of cooking up interesting and viable Hoplite-led army lists to use when playing ADLG in the Classical era.</p> <p>Regular contributors Dave & Richard are here to take up the challenge as we set ourselves the task of building an array of different lists, all featuring a minimum of 12 Classical-era Hoplites, as well as discussing a bit of the history (real and "ancients-gaming") of the archetypal Hellenistic warrior.</p> <p>This video is also available as a Video podcast (with pictures of figures) <a href='https://youtu.be/7UjgIK1j-uQ'>on the Madaxeman YouTube Channel</a>.</p> <p> </p> <p></p> <p style="text-align:center;">(Museum Miniatures 15mm Hoplites from <a href='http://www.madaxeman.com/15mm/displayimage.php?pid=3581'>the Madaxeman Photo Gallery</a>)</p>
