specifics in Spear fighting combat

[Alexander Polemos]

I had read these atricles before asking here, and then i asked because they confused me a fair amount.

Thanks for the information This topic is going back more to the group combat, i was hoping that there was a more specific way to fight one on one with a spear and shield. I thought that the greeks, if anything, would be the ones to have perfected this. but apparently not.

A short spear wielded with one hand and a shield would seem to me to be an effective combination. I thought that maybe the ancient Greeks would have done more with it, and that it may have been recorded somewhere.

I did not mean to get into the group combat and phalanx formations, but i was trying to find a scenario where a one on one fight would have occured. Sorry about that...
