New army commanders for your Greek army!

Greek Strategoi defending

The title of Polemarch (roughly translated as 'warlord') became redundant around the time of the Battle of Marathon. The duty of commanding an army was handed to the strategoi (literally 'army leader'). We know from the accounts of Herodotus that they fought in the main line of battle with their fellow hoplites.

Their equipment would have been very similar to the regular hoplite, but of a higher quality and more extravagant to show off their status and wealth. This would also aid location in the heat of battle.

Each pack includes three separate heads and arms, for maximum versatility.
