Cogratulations Kallimachos and kineas! I really love macedonian impressions 
I got some questions for you Kallimachos. We have done till now two prototypes of sarissa, but we still have problems because we used the same wood diameter than the dory and this combined with the weakness of linking sections makes that when we form a phalanx about half sarissa bends down, so we look like some kind of "impotent" hoplites :oops: What diameter are you using on yours?
I have seen the pikes of the Tercio pikemen from the XVII century, and I couldn't tell exactly, but they have a really great diameter!
Another question is about the phalangite shield, you did it yourself? maybe the ring method would be good for doing one.
Thank you!
