Hoplitai and 0.2 density

[Tellos Athenaios]

On this pic the overlapping shields are very nice! The only thing I don't like is when they charge. They should keep the shields in front position.

I suppose it is actually quite realistic that they _don't_ keep the shields perfectly right in front of them when charging. I mean, think about it: if you advance step by step it's possible (with a lot of training) to keep that big shield reasonably steadily in front of you; but if you are charging? I'd imagine that your shield would get in the way of your legs (knees, actually), no?
