[split] Phalanx warfare: use of the spear

Many of the interesting observations however were made before the official experiment when we were mostly 'playing' like little boys and like a plague more and more people were adding into the pushing match. It was there that bad positioning and odd circumstances flipped me facing backwards! The things that can happen!

Yea, I remember you ending up sitting in your aspis bowl!  Imagine the nicknames your fellow hoplites would come up with?  Giannis leads from behind!  At one point I threw my whole body, all 290lbs of it, off the ground into a two rank shield wall to see what would happen.  I just bounced off.
