OR .. it could be roleplayed as "the curse of 1st Parthian"!

The first commander Bithys Parthiakes won some battles but then he had to leave from WotB and the army just stood there in Azaak I think.
Then Theodoros Syriakos became it's commander. He also won some battles but in Ioudaia Alerion became inactive and the army stood on the border of AS and Ptolemaioi. I think Ptolemaioi did not attacked it because my RA was near Hierosolyma.
And then Nikanor Kybiosaktes took control over it. And the curse continued. After some time the army became inactive!

But what is the cause of the inactivity? You cannot walk into the Royal Council and say "Yo, our Armyleader is inactive, he sits on his chair and stares into space"

Like Hoof and Mouth?

Do you guys have any tips on making and maneuvering the phalanx to maximize it's efficiency? It seems that when I have to actively attack an enemy with my hoplites they fall out of order and only try to get back in formation once they are engaged in combat.

Any help (this is from my Macedonian SP campaign but uses similar troops as you guys)

i'm going to try and get my WotB fixed tonight, but i can see me being in bed early, what with christmas and all and it being the old firm game yesterday(football: celtic v rangers) so i'm a tad tired to say the least

old firm games generally involve a hell of a lot of alcohol being consumed and either partying or drowning your sorrows well into the night
