Christian,
Your thought are valid but the tendency was to keep ranks.
Troops of city states who practised columnar tactics scorned unformed enemies. Any action breacing the ranks was frowned upon.
At Kunaxa eveybody warned everybody to stey in the ranks for example.
It was not atchived in a day but it wwas formulated gradualy.
Kind regards
