No offense but I still don't see any reason to listen to your claims. You're not citing anything or explaining your reasoning. You're just repeating what you've heard. What I've heard other people say.
Then please show me who in this tread posted sources? No one did, every one here has thus far just posted his opinion and records and experiences.

I personally compare the different posibilities of how thing could have went and choose the best one accordingly. In fact I thought that Hoplite fought overhand because the Hoplite helmet lost lower protection and in this article of ancient warfare turns out I was right on that. Same with shorter sword. Those two things I thought of myself and afterwards read it being said by some Historians.
