stats of a unit of pezhetairoi

[jerby]

hi there,

i was playing RTR just now, and i tested something real, really weird.
i did a test of maniples (1 unit of princepes) vs 1 unit of "pezhetairoi" i was the Pez.
so it was 41 vs 43. both units had 11 atk, and 32def ( the pezhetairoi is called "asthetairoi" dunno were that came from..)
i attacked, so a minor disadvantage. but i lost with 5 kills vs 30 (!!!!)

i know the maniple was somehow 'superior' but these were ordinary princepes, minor veterans..against to what RTR claims to be the top-notch pezhetairoi...

what i saw was the pikemen drawing themselves in to a ^ shape. but 5 kills is pathetic!

so my question is: what are the stats of a pezhetairoi? and is the pahlanx still a succesfull formation, still a fighting order of the day?

EDIT:the Question here is basically: is the phalanx still a murdering machine up front?
