I am absolutely certain it does not . Sadly .

There was a Byzantine formation that had spears front , javlins/darts middle and archers rear {which was a variation on a Phalanx unit Alexander the great developed just before his death {which was never tested until the Byzantines resurected the concept} and Pavise Crossbowmen were actually Pavise Spearmen protecting Crossbowmen {each spearman had a crossbowman whom they allways hired out with as a single unit} so it quite a shame the engine doesn't allow it .
