As the Germans, my main phalax strategy was making varius U shapes with a few Phalax units. I'd get up within a decent range (out of phalax, charging), then set up the U quickly. Then i'd put screetching women and maybe some cavelery within the U if it was reversed (facing me). The enemy will swarm around the phalax and they'll hold off and fight the enemy. The screetching women will sap morale and will send units routing for a little while, then I just use the cavelery and charge their running backs.
They usually go in singles so it's just a matter of chopping down.
Forward Us are mostly offensive, I leave the phalax open like \_/ and then when the enemy comes in I close it up, if there is alot of guys I have back up Us incase I get surrounded.
