My question is : isn't it difficult to speak of "crowd" ou "classical" with respectively 7 and 2 people ? or am I missing something ?
I guess I won't be able to read your further comment before we have our own September camp tomorrow and try on our side.
We will be no more than 8 hoplites and we aim at keeping the lines in order. I doubt we can draw any conclusion about classical or crowd theory.
We already tried othismos 5 against 5 (only men) and it was difficult to say which side turned into crowd or not. In 2 minutes bot phalanx ended with a common mess. Difficult to draw conclusions for a more numerous attempt.
