We fought in open order.
Now, before you think we've run mad--we're trying out the experimental technique of trying to train like hunters, vice trying to train like modern soldiers doing drill. So for example, we practiced moving over ground in a constantly flowing group, running together, and attacking a formed body as a flowing mass that surround, amoeba like--the way I've seen Masai practice.
This may not work at all. But we'd like to experiment with it and out thought is that we can always fall back on drill and order and locked shields, which most of us have done before. We will ALSO experiment with formed bodies and othismos and all that.
