Re: Defense of Reach

In Response To: Defense of Reach (thesoffish)

: The epic back-against-the-wall, no survivors battle you descibed reminds me
: of the generator defense of Reach in the novels. 30 or 40 Spartans died as
: their defenses were overrun by a Covenant army.

: And I once read Steven Pressfield's Gates of Fire, a novelization of the
: Battle of Thermopylae. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in this.
Most of them died from the fall, and then after that the rest were killed by the plama bombardments, maybe a total of 5 of the orginal 50 or so were killed by covy attacks.
reads the books if your going to use their information
