Advantage of the Pilum over Bows and Arrows?
#43
As a "General Rule". If I were to lead a force into combat of any type I would want to know the capabilities of my group. Contests of skill are not unknown in most units and it would make sense to reward those who excelled. Training gives a good chance for all of these factors to come to bear. Personal skills vary but with a little practice a leader would know when to say "let 'er rip' within a couple of meters or so.

One question for Greek style javelins what are the specifications, ( length, weight, type of materials, etc. ) Thanks!
