Come and take them.
King of Sparta, Agiad dynasty. I held Thermopylae with 300 Spartans and 7,000 allied Greeks against Xerxes and over a million Persians. We held for three days. When Ephialtes betrayed the mountain pass, I sent the allies home and stayed with my 300. We knew we were dead. We fought anyway. Gorgo, my queen, was worth ten generals -- when a woman from Attica asked why Spartan women ruled their men, she said: Because only Spartan women give birth to men. Tip: A narrow front negates numerical superiority. Choose your ground, force the enemy to fight on your terms, not his. Terrain is a weapon -- use it.
