Hoplite spacing and formation

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

Paul M, I think you took C and D for granted.They're just about to show how the shields yould be overlapped,not the body station and not the position of each hoplite further in front of the next.At least I hope so.The shields in C,for instance would actually be a little to the side,so each hoplite would be exactly next to the one in his right. And before you vote for B,think that the shields have to overlap in close order.
Paul B,there is another option,too. I will try to make some drawings.In the mean time go to Osprey Greek Hoplite p26
