The one I found in Gurps Greece is great but only show Athens and a few of the surrounding territories.2) Anyone have any concrete example Athenian military service? I know that at age 18 the take their vow and then do 2 years of military service. Where does this take place? Do they leave home to enter a barracks or is it a after hours type situation? I heard that these recruits make up the bulk of the standing army for that year but do the older men get drafted when more are needed?3) Sparta conquered two surrounding territories and which gave them the bulk of southern peloponese (sp?). Were these areas simply territories of scattered towns or were there cities which lead them? I can't find any cities near Sparta which would fit (again I can't be sure do to not having a territory map).4) I can't find any reference to lighter armor such as leather in use. Anyone know if it was available or often used?5) When on the march (but not to a battle field) would Greek soldiers wear their heavy armor? It just seems to heavy...I'd think they would don it before the battle.Thanks for the help.</blockquote>
