Thread: Indo Greek Phalanx
I heard before that the Indo-Greeks still used the Macedonian phalanx, and that the EB had considered to make such a unit for EB, but it was canceled due to model limit.
Has anyone actually made the unit and still have it? I would like to add it to ALXEB.

Hmm ? Oh, it's there.
Reform unit, as it were. Got the same treatment as the Iphikrateans, ie. lost the phalanx special formation (and is currently under soldier-radius experimentation by your truly).

No, those are hoplites, I'm looking for Macedonian phalanx, like this:
There was an "Indo-Hellenic Pezhetairoi" planned a long time ago but was dropped due to them being rare and other units being more important. I'm not sure there was a whole lot of sarrisa phalanx action in India, but the tactic did make it there.
any model/skin of them exist?
I don't think that unit ever got passed the "lets maybe consider doing something like that someday in the future" stage.
