I am quite prepared to form an alliance with the "Megson cult"... In fact I offer Meggo the assistant managers job, with a clause offering first dabs on the Job should Carlos go Its time to consolidate, we are beset on all sides by folk wanting Boycotts...Folks wanting Wednesday to actually LOSE! to further their nefarious objectives...

clud17 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Should you not form line when expecting incoming artillery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) Damn! Saw the thread title and hoped it was ITK news that Carlos was going to implement an Arrigo Sacchi style hunting square in midfield , ferociously hunting down the opposition in packs to rip the ball back from them and assembling a high defensive line.

Utah Owl Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 You only form square against cavalry in which case it is extremely effective. Do it against infantry and you are well and truly screwed. Are Wolves turning up tomorrow on horseback or on foot? What des the scouting party say? Have we got the skirmishers out or have they already skedaddled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shezzas left peg Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 1 hour ago, Internationowl said: The foulkon, or testudo, is no longer used in military operations because the formation is very easy to attack against with modern weaponry. It was once considered a useful defensive tactic circa 2000 years ago, but was found to have no pace, width, aggression or attacking intent of any real purpose. Reports from battles involving the foulkon formation suggest it was always a very boring affair, and most battles would end in a "scoreless draw" with no shots at all fired at the enemy, or a defeat for the foulkon in a slightly humiliating fashion. Often, the leader, or "captain" would stand from the foulkon and kick one of the opposing soldiers in the knackers before rejoining the troops. This would inevitably be a highlight of the day. So now it all becomes clear, the reason Carlos and we are struggling is because we've been using the square as a formation. As it doesn't work against modern era formations or tactics maybe we could go all Alexander and try his hammer and anvil tactic, or his mousetrap strategy for dealing with chariots, which modena military strategists still use a variation of today.
