    Um, could you two (Spartan and Conon) take your personal issues with each other to PMs please?
    Fair enough - I was planning on putting most of what I put in post #19 in a new thread in the VV. I did not because Spartan does insist on injecting his personal comments and accusations in threads so I though I was justified in a public defense. In any case on balance the core of the argument sans the personal invective on both sides is valid for this thread or many other on the VV since it goes to the nub of understanding ancient battle reconstructions.

    IN PATROCINIVM SVB Dromikaites

    'One day when I fly with my hands - up down the sky, like a bird'

    But if the cause be not good, the king himself hath a heavy reckoning to make, when all those legs and arms and heads, chopped off in battle, shall join together at the latter day and cry all 'We died at such a place; some swearing, some crying for surgeon, some upon their wives left poor behind them, some upon the debts they owe, some upon their children rawly left.

    Hyperides of Athens: We know, replied he, that Antipater is good, but we (the Demos of Athens) have no need of a master at present, even a good one.
