Drapanai too strong.....

[Andronikos]

What about some different tactic? Like pointing both hypaspist units at one drapanai, one from rear if possible, they have no armor and should die quickly. But I'm not sure who will die faster. :D
Or for future change one hypaspistai for peltastai makedonikoi, a voley of javelins into the face of charging unit can make a huge difference, I have won several battles even before the lines collided with this tactic. Enemy army simply stopped, turned and routed.

Hmmm... I allready use defend.... but perhaps I think next time I wil try to spread one Hypaspist into thin line, and the other flank them.....
(That's a really good Idea... thanks....)

Any other ideas how to counter drapanai with melee units?
