Del the phalanx as a system of fighting was a long line (usually at least 100 soldiers wide) of between 8 to 30 men deep. The formation is utterly unsuited to fighting in cities, because that formation can't even fit in a bloody city. Now spears standing in a line protecting a street works fine. If they were fighting in the city they would not be using the phalanx. Has anyone tried taking that ability off? Do they still drift to the right?
