Where shields generally held by the hand, or were they strapped on to the forearm? If they were strapped to the arm then I can see the the thrusting power of a spear because both hands are still free.

"Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?"

Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
