Macedonian Phalangites
Manufacture Product Number : EXP-60-GRK-13-R 9 models – 1 Officer + 8 Pikemen in armor with two-part pikes. |
| The central infantry component of the Macedonain army was the phalanx. This unit was composed of veteran warriors armed with 16-foot long "Sarissa" pikes, and armored with small shields, bronze helmets and body armor. Created by Philip of Macedon and carried on through the reign of Alexander and the heirs of his empire, these troops are generally considered to be among the greatest military units ever fielded. Trained to a peak of perfection, the phalngites were able to execute complex military maneuvers far beyond the abilities of the armies they faced. Further, they were, for over 150 years (ca 350 BCE-197 BCE) unbeatable in pitched battle. Both Alexander and Phillip used the phalanx to pin an enemy in place, then struck the killing blow with their well-trained cavalry. |
