Formations

[Maion Maroneios]

I used to make use of Misthophoroi Phalangitai when I payed with the Koinon Hellenon. My tactics where more or less the same as yours, meaning I used 4-6 as a solid battle line. The only drawback is that you can't replenish your numbers easily, as they are mercenaries. At that time the Koinon Phalangitai wheren't even included, so I was stuck with those guys. Not that they are bad, on the contrary they are excellent line-holders.

Another thing I greatly enjoyed playing as the Koinon, is that you could experiment with many types of armies. For example, I even created a pseudolegion, consisted of Thorakitai, Thureophoroi and some other troops. Yes, those where good times indeed *nostalgia*

Maion

[satalexton]

I go for a classic makedonike formation, 7 units of phalangites (5 if ur facing romans) 1 unit of hyaspists on the right, 2 (3 if against romans) allied heavy inf on the right flank, 2/3 thureophoroi(or sth similar) on the left flank, 2 units of psiloi (toxotai kretikoi or spendonetai) behind the left flank, 2 elite heavies (peltastai mekedonikoi + allies) on the centre right. For cavalry i use thrakioi prodromoi + hippies thessalikoi on the left, general + lonchophoroi hippeis/hetairoi for the right depending on the situation. I tend to have a full stack of replacements/reinforcements/baggage train to replaces losses or change troop composition depending on the type of enemy i face.
