Quote:What is loose order? What is close order? 3 ft is loose and synaspismos are close? I dont think the 1,5 ft formation are compatible with a run-clash like this described Hanson.

Normal if 3 ft. for each soldier, not between each soldier.
Close order (synaspismos) is 1 - 1.5 ft. for each soldier. Yes, packed ranks. try moving them!
No, you can't wield a sword in synaspismos, but then I don't think that's expected from you.
