Question about reenactors

[Polinik]

This is also a nice impression of Hoplomachia, yet I don't know how accurate it is:

This video covers the impressive style of fighting from Geometric Era (900 B.C.) to Early Archaic Era (670 B.C).
Some action do credit to Homeric descritpitons but most of them could not be effective against a solid wall of spearmen.

Does it mean I am wrong when I say that that archaic style could be used once(if) ranks broke or not?Was this style practiced at all after 670? Thanks.

Stefanos,I know that,of course.
Disagreement comes in some maybe less fundamental areas of your(meaning reenactors in general) work.Or better say disagreement with those who do not make a difference between history and history reenactment. I will explain soon.

@Olaf

Thank you for that information.You did put very good show.It is good you use blunted weapons,but still spikes from trident can hurt?Dangerous business after all,but a good show.

All best
