1. You can always throw javelins (called pilla).
2. Testudo is only good versus missile fire and makes your men fight worse in melee.

The art of war, then, is governed by five constant
factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations,
when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.
These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth;
(4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.
