Ok... check this out:
Thermopylae's Battle maps & my topographic draw (right-down):

And here is my first rendered 3D screen of the battlefield:

You watching, from PERSIANS' view point; you can see the OPENING that Persians were maneuvered BEFORE the "impact", you watching the point that the path GETTING REALLY tight (when I'll place the Phocean Wall - MIDDLE wall) - in front of that, the Spartans will be place, you watching the brief chasm (over the sharp rocks of the shore), when the Persians fall and died, you watching the mountain over the Greek post, the narrow path between the chasm & the mountain... everything.
That you CAN'T see (in this screen) is the "Apopaea's Path" BEHIND the mountain, when Ephialtes lead the Immortals behind the Greek lines (also made in 3D format, but can't be seen here)...
Is it interesting?
