Hello all,
Can anyone tell me which Greek civilization is associated with this war? i.e...Minoan, Myceneaen or something else?

Mycenean. From the Peloponnese. But I believe they enlisted others to help such as the men from Karystos in Euboeia.

Dating the war to c1230 BC would mean Late Helladic III c Mycenaeans and Late Minoan III Cretans

And, if I remember correctly, the boar's tooth helmet that was found was from precisely that period.ATBMarcus

And old King Nestor was part of it too, wasn't he? (from the west side of the Peloponnese).
