Quote:Left you can observe how the right-over-left overlap allows the opening of the shield wall actually endangering the phalanx.
By convention on this site we have been calling overlap in the opposite manner. The preffered method by both you and I is "Right hand man's shield overlapping left hand man's shield" or "right over left." We have argued this ad nauseum on here inthe past and as far as I know you are now the only other person who advocates right over left. I'll add to your observation of the weakness of L-o-R that as the lines back in you end up with someone's shield rim in your gut. I for one would not want anyting betwene me and my aspis.
