They actually won this weekend. Concentrating thier forces on the enemy elite guard whilst wheeling the calvalry round to hit them simultanously from the back.

They also kept thier best troops in reserve to shore up the line if neccesary

End result was that the Spartans got spanked and the 'allies' that made up the bulk of thier army just watched them take a shoeing, then got off back to thier respective homelands.
