Quote:One thing that always amazes me in movies: what use is formations, if it all becomes a free-for-all?
I can't remember but i think it was in the movie Augustus with Peter O Toole as Augustus. In the first part of the movie Octavianus rides to join Caesar who has cornered Pompeius' soldiers in a fort in Spain. When Caesar's army is going to storm the fort Caesar and the officers have the troops manoever and adopt different formations in front of the fort for about 10 minutes, Then Caesar gives the signal to attack the fort and all the soldiers (who were aligned into neat blocks, after the 10 min of manoeuvering) break formation and form a mob while storming the fort :lol: :lol:
