Err....I was but...no, there's not a lot to add to that.

I think it's best I beat a retreat back to the thread(s) sponsored by the Free Reformed Hellenic Church of Alexander Idealist and Dreamer.

Ooh, the image, the image. I am seared for life...

Wicked men, you sin against your fathers, who conquered the whole world under Philip and Alexander.

If I win the lottery, I vow to personally finance an excursion for re-enactors that lasts long enough to figure out what a Phillipic/Alexandrian phalanx could and could not do.

For the life of me, I am incredibly tired of every other modern professional pantomiming what their predecessors had to say about the subject without even taking into consideration common sense.
