Greek bronze was cold forged which made it very effective and superior to most bronze weapons. The Greeks were forced to invent heavy infantry tactics due to the mountainous terrain of Greece where you didn't have many maneuvering options (except Thessaly if I remember correctly who created the wedge formation for cavalry). So unlike everyone else the Greeks started using heavy infantry and spear formations because of the passes. Meanwhile everyone else used chariots and light infantry as support yet completely unaware of rank and file fighting side by side with each other. It was mostly two mobs fighting while the charioteers fired pot shots or used the chariot as an uber to and from the battle . Heavy infantry wasn't really viable due to the extreme heat so Egypt and Persian didn't utilize them until after the Macedonian conquest. Most armies consisted of light infantry with shields and chariots or cavalry as support. Most Persians didn't have any form of armor save for wicker shields and cuirasses, the immortals being the exception because they had tin scale armor. Zthe greeks used bronze greaves, the Corinthian helm, a large hoplon shield and glued linen armor that had broze and iron scales or plates inside. -

What formation preceeded the phanlax formation? I can say it was Phillip of Macedon who formed the first well drilled formations with the Macedonia style phalanxes employing sarissas instead of dories and a strap shield instead of a hoplon. So who invented the first formation? What was it called? -
BASTARD BEAST (schizocynic@poa.st)'s status on Friday, 02-Jun-2023 17:18:27 JST BASTARD BEAST @Eiregoat @matrix @caekislove @UnityOstara The celts only tactic was a false retreat to break up formations so they could fight individually as they didn't use formations at all and didn't even advance with their shield in front of them hence why the Anglo-Saxon were successful against the picts. Persians didn't use drill formations they just used immortals as an infantry anchor while the cavalry flanked. -

BASTARD BEAST (schizocynic@poa.st)'s status on Friday, 02-Jun-2023 17:18:21 JST BASTARD BEAST @Eiregoat @matrix @caekislove @UnityOstara Because it's not difficult to conquer primitives who are sparsly populated. With no knowledge of shield or line formations. The scythians ruled most of the stepp without even knowledge of roads or farming. The buildings architecture is clearly Mesopotamian-like so they built buildings like that as it was the basic first step style. As for empires without knowledge of drill you can look a everyone before Greece and Rome as they invented drill formations and line combat. That's how thermopylae happened. Spartans worked together in disciplined lines and the Persians did not. The romans used line formations and the celts didn't (Crassus doesn't count because he was retarded and Spartacus was gigachad) the only time line formations and disciplined troops lost was rare and due to incompetence higher up. Like Carrhae and teutoburg forest. -

Same reason Hannibal never took Rome, not because he couldn't but because he couldn't depend on Carthage to reinforce him in time -
BASTARD BEAST (schizocynic@poa.st)'s status on Friday, 02-Jun-2023 08:31:50 JST BASTARD BEAST @Eiregoat @caekislove @matrix The Spanish frog stomped them because they worked together in a cohesive fighting unit. The Spanish tercio formation was the mainstay at the time and required everyone work together and especially protect one another. Their pikemen defended the musketeers who covered the roundshiers who protected the pikemen. The aztecs had no knowledge of war or discipline with nothing more than running forward and spear chucking. -
BASTARD BEAST (schizocynic@poa.st)'s status on Friday, 02-Jun-2023 08:31:49 JST BASTARD BEAST @Eiregoat @matrix @caekislove No they just bludgeoned enemies into submission with flint clubs. They had absolutely no idea on how to utilize drilled formations let alone use proper teamwork that isn't just jumping someone. Even if the Spaniards were just colonists (they weren't ) they had enough time and leadership to become a cohesive fighting unit just by deck drills. By the time they hit the shore they were much more effective due to the vast differences of the actual warfare experience that wasn't glorified slave raids. The only thing the aztecs had was special infantry like skull, jaguar, and eagle orders. In terms of losses the scales are tipped hilariously one sided with 2k aztecs lost to every 100 Spaniards. Then there's the cavalry benefit. South Americans actually had better success in repelling the Spaniards yet it only took a couple more ships to solve that issue -

BASTARD BEAST (schizocynic@poa.st)'s status on Sunday, 21-May-2023 03:54:26 JST BASTARD BEAST @DK_Dharmaraj Ukraine doesn't have the manpower, equipment, training, or moral to pull off a proper sickle slice needed to penetrate and hold the territory for encirclement. Even if they did Russia obviously fortified their flanks so attempting it would just be a meat grinder for Ukraine. In order to penetrate the Russian lines Ukraine needs the ability to mass heavy artillery barrages in conjuction with a mass armored speartip. Ukraine has none of that. -
