Pila aren't indeed supposed to be deadly... They precisely were supposed to hit shields and remain stuck in them thus rendering their use very embarassing. Pilum is is a disorganising weapon, not a lethal one. This is why they are thrown just before the charge.

Tiberius, your method is 250% anti-camillian!!! ;-)
Hastati/Principes formation should be square!!! (and checkboard, but this is a bit harder to achieve with 20 unit limit and half of them being allied bums lol)
