yes but if there is a place where you will stand ground and defend like a bridge ( chokepoints ) it would work, but yeah as you said they will always try to flank you.
Ain't protecting the flanks the Hypaspist's or Hetairoi's jobs?
For example:
Alexander's army on march

hi,
as a greek i have to tell u that u made some terrible mistakes.
First of all all the greek cities use the dory (a spear 2 metter long) and the akontio(something like pilla) to make their phalanx. that was why the greeks lost by the macedons who actually used the sarissa (6 meter long i think u call it kamax) so if u want independet greek cities make a dory and of course change thhe helmets. the greeks used the corinthian helmet
and the greek offices used these
again u confuse their uniforms with macedonians.
if u wish to have a kamax+macedonian+helmet then first make their faction and make a greek or dont make one greek just macedon and secondly make the macedonians shields=small one
and macedonians used archers the famous cretan archers .
if u want any more help tell me. i love my country!!!

Well so far I know, our "researchers" are telling us that the Corinthian helmet is completly inaccurate? For the other things please use the search fuction next time. I've told several times that we do not yet have the wanted resources to arm the Greeks with the wanted spears/weapons.

no its not it has disapeared when macedons conquered greece. the whole hellenic states is historical in acurate

The Macedonians didn't completely conquer Greece, the Romans did. Also, it is perhaps true that a few Greeks used the Corinthian helm , but the prevailing style at the time was using Thracian/Attic/Chalcidian/Pylos and other open helms with or without cheek pieces.
Found an interesting link with many ancient shields designs:
Ancient shield designs
Various cultures but there is a description in each images so you don't mix things up.

I ll take a look at it tomorrow. I might make another shield design if it looks decent.

sarisas and small shields
Quite goodly then. I was panicking for a minute there thinking that you would give them Hoplite shields or something similar.
Aspis, surely. I thought 'Hoplon' was a generic term for armament, even if it's often used for the shield. Ancient Warfare magazine at least suggests that much in its Vol I, issue 3 (oct/nov 2007) theme issue on shields, helmets and armor.
Paul Bardunias mentions
in his article The Aspis. Surviving Hoplite Battle.
Also, the same issue has an article by Michael Park on (The Warrior) The Silver Shields which mentions that even the pelte (I know, but they mean the round small shield) of Macedonian Phalangites wasn't really small. Smaller than the aspis of course, but Park writes that one of those shields was still
Maybe this post is slightly pedantic, of course but yesterday I got my order of four Ancient Warfare issues in a collection on Greek warfare.

Interesting, what is the diameter of an aspis?

I don't remember how many textures are in that texture, but I used cgi textures and a texture from a guy named Counterpoint.Hamilkar19 said:
