The Battle of Thermopylae is the war between the Greek city-states and the Persian Empire in about 400 BC. If you've seen the movie 300 you'll know what I'm talking about. So anyways you are a Spartan or a Persian soldier. You are either defending Greece or trying to take over Greece.

Classes

Greece

Spartan-Heavy armored soldier with a spear,shield, and a short sword. You are with a group of only 300 Spartans.

Persia

Simple soldier-Light armored soldier that has a wooden shield and a short sword. Appears in large groups.

Immortal-Better armored than a simple soldier and has more combat experience. (only 5 allowed)

You run up to the commander. You ask him why he ran away like a coward. He tells you to shut up and he gives you a leather shield and tells you to stand at the back of the army.

It was God-King Xerxes order to make sure the commander stays alive. You walk to the back of the army and listen to a 3 hour speech about Persia. 15,000 of the soldiers group with a horseback rider and the Immortals scout the area for Greek troops.

You go up to the ridge and you spot 300 Spartans walk past a recent city you burned to the ground. Leonidas(spartan leader) orders the troops to rest. This is the perfect time for an attack. What do you do?

A.Inform Mardonius about the Spartans

B.Do nothing but go back to the camp

You report back to Xerxes and he tells you to rest. He sends 500 soldiers to confront the Spartans. A day later one of the soldiers comes and reports a failure. Xerxes tells Mardonius to destroy the camp and group up with Hydarnes.
