@vitrebrov Against an opponent that's charging straight at them, it proved useful! And it's not a formation that they'd keep indefinitely until the fighting is over, that'd be stupid! That'd be poor strategy.

This is based on holywood and not on historical facts. Real shield walls were just one line on people standing with their shields next to each other, not a roman testudo line.

This doesn't look so practical. Spears will manage without difficulties to enter the gaps, the guys behind the shields can't see and thus can't react. This creeping forward while crouched will tire you out within 20 meters. Plus, the second and third row guys have to stretch out their arms. How long can you manage that with a heavy shield?
@nemipiu2 ай бұрын
The shield wall is not an offensive move, it's more of a stand your ground / impenetrable defense tactic. Did you see them do it in Vikings?

I’m curious to know is spartan/Viking shield wall against a bayonet line
@nemipiu2 ай бұрын
Shooting the muskets will punch a few tiny holes in the wall and that might cause a few bigger holes that'll be quickly covered... The bayonet basically works as a small spear for stabbing, not slashing, and it might get stuck in a shield... With casualties, maybe heavy casualties, I think the viking shield wall would survive a squad of musketeers with bayonets!
