I used this tactic and thought I was very clever until ! Oh no I ran out of amo...too bad now I have to wait until the time limit runs out... But it works..

That's why the squares are good. The lads kill a lot of camels in the melee so ammo is not a problem. :)

squares are kinda overrated though... or atleast, what i fail to understand is why a square in a narrow street can hold back 15 mameluke units and a line of the same infantry unit cannot hold back those 15 mameluke units. because the line of the infantry unit is thicker and because it cannot be outflanked they should be equally or even more effective...

But the first rank isn't kneeling obviously.

[The Stranger]

thats true, but does that really have such a great impact? i mean obviously yes when they charge in, but not when the fight is draggin on.

Probably not, the square really just protects against flanking IRL... In the game you get over 9000 bonus to defense.
