Ahh.
As is so often the case online, I'm not sure we've been disagreeing!
I think I need to read posts more carefully. Later tonight when my daughter's play-date is done, I'll try my hand at a diagram to show what I perceived the problem to be.
I am EAGER to try this stuff with larger bodies of men/women/participants. Quite a few of my rev war friends are interested, so perhaps we'll start a small phalanx in Ontario and work from there.
(Shameless plug) my unit can be seen at www.csmid.com and our overall org at www.northernbrigade.org . Anyone wanting to see the next step above that should take a look at www.britishbrigade.com , which is the site of the British Army of the 18th C. in America. And apologies for it being off topic--my excuse is that it may prove a rich recruiting ground for a phalanx, or at least for some experimentation. I'm hoping to get the troops at Lansing Manor in 2 weeks to try moving 8 deep and 16-20 wide, depending on turnout. Don't tell them, though...
As I mentioned on this thread or somewhere, I'll be in Greece for a month next spring and I'd love to see a group in action and perhaps learn some of your drills.
Must go be a dad.
