Army-Wide Formation Techniques

[BigTex]

I really like that formation; where'd you pick it up?

It seems like one of the major points of the game, army formations, isn't covered much by the game or the forum.

Pick it up from a history book, perhaps?

I picked it up in a history book. Except the exact crescent doesnt completely work on the games engine. It looks like a stepped crescent ingame but the there's no way to really display that on the forum. If I could figure out how to change the game from taking pictures as TGA's to something like a bitmap then I could show you.

It's quite useful. More so in EB and RTW, which I would use phalanxes on the flanks. Stepping back crescent the enemy to engage 2 units at once, meaning ones going to be on its flank wreaking havoc on morale.
