Why would anyone use cantabrian circle? IIRC it never worked correctly and any units using it were always 'easy pickings'.

It was very useful for dealing with the elite missile units. You could slowly attrit them while keeping them engaged without them cutting you to pieces in the process. They had to send another unit or two out to deal with the threat. Where it didn't work was versus fast charging units that could melee.

Hmmm? Perhaps I never tried that since I dont think I actually play a campaign where I had that many HA. I just recall the mounted javelin-based cantabrian circle as being a bit of a jerk (so to speak).
