There was no post. It's your imagination. But a totally never-before-posted-in-this-thread-by-me link that you can use to inform yourself on the topic without my in any way being disputatious or otherwise breaking unwritten policy that I was never informed of but of course would never have broken anyway is this.

That link goes to never-never land. Also known as page cannot be displayed.

That pretty much explains all the pieces of this issue.

Just a question with regards to this, were regular hoplites still slow and heavily armoured, and it was only the outrunners who had reduced armour?

I ask becuase if regular hoplite equiptment was made lighter to allow them to be faster, then surely they shouldn't fight in the RTW phalanx since this makes them go at a snails pace (Unless it is turned off, in which case they cannot use their 12 foot pears, thus makin ghte longer spear pointless)?
