Hello again!<br>
I feel prolific today.<br>
In my reply on the battle of Marathon dicusion, I made a detailed comment of the light troops masking the move of the fallanx and the interchange among ranks.<br>
I will mention again Peter Konolly´s works on ancient warfare and his depiction of falanx in open order.<br>
Light troops simply buy you time to bring you mince machine (aka hoplites) close and then Ahoura Mazda help them - which he didn´t.<br>
For the wargame fanatics among you the only game that represent this is WRG 6 to my knowledge so far!<br>
A simillar example are the clouds of French tirallers during the revolutionary and napoleonic wars.<br>
