Phalanxes in version 1.1

[antisocialmunky]

You know, I can't dig it up right now but the wikipedia entry on the Achaean League cites Plutarch as saying that the Thureos's narrowness was a disadvantage in close combat. Granted if this paraphrase is accurate, Plutarch was a little late to the scene.

However it might just end up being a wash because Iphikratean hoplites had longer spears.
