A question I wish to address to those whose knowledge of the classics is greater than mine (that is something more than a casual reading or two of Thucydides,...
Rolf, There are a number of advantages in Armati in deploying deep; 1. As a unit can only inflict 1 BP per combat round, to have your frontage halved means...
... and ... Is that a fact? or just a thought? Drilling with a 16 foot pike is a lot harder than drilling with an 8 footer, and unit depth makes it even...
