Well at Watford Paul in full hoplite panoply ran against Edwin who is an experienced archer at a ditance of 100 meter. The archer manged to shoot only a couple of arrows fefore the hoplite was upon him.
I support Dan when it says that increased armor was of great aid.
Also is is quite unnerving seeing a compact block of nasty pointed things pressing relentlessly against you, so you fire a couple os shots and run as far way from them with the chariot. That has the side effect of forcing your friently infantry to run away too!

Kind regards
