Iphicrates\' Troops - Johnny Shumate - 10-14-2006

"The actual use of these arms confirmed the initial test and from the success of the experiment won great fame for the inventive genius of the general."
It seems, without a doubt, that Iphicrates' reforms in arms and armour(pelta, long sword, long spear, etc..) were used....
Some believe that these troops where never used....
What are your thoughts..?
