Were we allowed to start with the other hoplite separate from the group?

Yes, starting with 8 Hoplites is completely valid. I allowed customizing the minion line, as long as the minions were effectively either Hoplites or non-Hoplites.

Apparently I never specified that I was holding this contest til the end of the month??????? I swear I put that in. Well anyway, here's your 30 RP.
