What were the best battle formations in history? Why did they work?
How did these formations compare to more modern approaches to battle?
While modern tactics have evolved, these historical formations were incredibly effective for their time. They allowed armies to protect themselves from ranged attacks and create a shield wall that could be difficult for opposing forces to penetrate. Additionally, the strict organization and cohesion required in these formations allowed for clear communication and easier coordination among soldiers.
