A Reappraisal of Column versus Line in the Peninsular War
James R. Arnold
The Journal of Military History, Vol. 68, No. 2 (Apr., 2004), pp. 535-552
Thanks! I didn't know it and will be happy to read it.
(Please take this with the smile its intended) If the work has already been done, then how come no two classicists I know agree on any element of hoplite combat? (I mean guys in departments, not the humble or not so humble but at least well-meaning folks on this list!) ) )
Qui plus fait, miex vault.
