Battle order
#18
I think the best way to define formations is by order, in which have basically close order formations and open order formations, and then within them we can distinguish different weapon systems, eg a close order pike formation. or spearmen formation, or musketeers, etc. Of course, many units could manouver and/or fight in open and close order, eg. the legionaries could throw their pila in open order and then close ranks to fight with the gladius <p></p><i></i>
