I have to join in Mr O´Neills pusselment here!
Okej! It takes more training to keep soldiers in formation! But for the techniques with the blade and shield the loser formation and man to man fighting is much harder to survive.
At least in my oppinion. I have not done roman lines but I´ve joinedthe vikings here where I live for a few times to fill their ranks out. And I train with longer blades and have five to ten duells/bouts two times a week. And To stay alive in the battleline is just o stab faster than everybody else. But to get more than a 50% chans in a man on man situation takes skill, training more training and even some more.
