I like this scenario, I'm currently fighting it online and it's seems great.
One commend though:
The Spartans had adopted the macedonian (pike) phalanx by then, so some of the heavy infantry should be pikemen. The perioikoi, Sparta's allies kai mercenaries were still armed like classical hoplites.
So the Spartan army in this scenario, should be a mix of pike-armed phalanxes and regular hoplites, probably in the analogy presented in the scenario of Hecatombaeum.
