I Beleive this was called the orb in roman tactics and often used as a last resort when out numbered ( so A note to CA, why wasnt this included in the group formations option?) Any ways I tend to Disagree with the usage of the edge of the screen as a anti flanking measure, I am saying in honesty that as newbie to the battle scene I have used this and won many battles with this tactic alone however I am now tired of this(and now do consider it a form of cheating) and that is the reason I opened this thread as I am looking for more tactics in both the offensive and defensive, I do appreciate all the entries so far guys keep it up, i will be looking into the Saw Manouver that was used against boudicea, however though seeing as CA decided not go give legoinaries the option to wedge I am not sure this will be exaclty possible to recreate unfortunately...
