I would like to find the man who made the phalanxes move to the right

Why couldn't the men with spears form in close order, form a shield wall and present a serried wall of spears? What about being in a street prevents them from doing this? Be specific.

And if a phalanx, as you claim, must be at least 100 men wide, then even the largest units in MTW are about 80 men too skinny to begin with.

Men can form a shield wall, be in close order, and present a line of spears. This however is not the phalanx. The phalanx is not a defensive formation. It is an attacking formation. You get a huge line of men that is 8 to 32 deep and then you thrust it into the enemy army. The first could guys do the fighting and everyone else pushes from the back. If someone dies then the next person steps in. The reason for moving everything to the right is that the soldiers were not that heavily armored and the shield was their main form of protection. Thus they want to get in under the protection of the shield bearer on their right.

The problem with the TW system of units is that it doesn't differentiate between armies that are organized in parts and those that are one. With Roman legions there was clear seperation of the three ranks, and in there it was further broken down into cohorts and centuries and so on. There was spacing between units. The RTW system works perfectly for them, other than perhaps lacking some formation tools to keep them organized in the formations they used.

Phalanxes though is just one huge line of men. Being a soldier without a guy on your right holding a shield for you is extremely dangerous. That's why the formation stayed together so closely. If you didn't you were dead very quickly. Also why no one liked to be the guy with no shield protecting him.

If you take a Roman legion and make 20 units you can fairly well approximate the building and organization of that body and use it in battle, because a roman legion was broken into many parts. You can't do that with a phalanx though. There is no way you can make 1000+ men be in a single unbroken line. That's why I'd like for groups that are all phalanx capable units to have a phalanx formation where they all stand in a line with no space between them. That would be a pretty good approximation of a phalanx force. Right now all we got is a bunch of phalanx units fighting individually.

that right drift meant i almost lost in a battle 200 hoplites vs 150 milita hoplites. down with it~!
