Quote:I have seen this happen by re-eanactors in a battle completely natural without any knowledge about ancient fighting techniques.
Such information from reenactors helped me greatly in shaping my concept of such combat. I may hit you up for more details and quote you!
I don't know if you saw the Vyborg video on the "Othismos true nature" thread, but they also seem to have arrived at what I believe was close to the style of ancient hoplite mass combat. I'm curious to know if what they did conforms to your experience.
