New hoplite book

[hoplite14gr]

Askelpiodotus saves a few commands but does not give details on their execution.
Oneasnders "Strategikon" talks about manouvers and not details of man to man combat.

Herodotus Thukidides and Xenophon wrote for an audience that understood these things and don't bother with exact details

There are lots of works and suggestions on these two sources but some come from people who don't know one end of a spear from another.

That why we do lots of trial and error as we are actually struggling in the dark.

P Connoly does a good job with manouvers in my opinion

Kind regards
