Is the phalanx formation unbeatable in open field combat?

I think this BR is trying to communicate
James Clark
Except that's where your cavalries come in. Your big bad heavy cavalries.
This is literally what Alexander used, phalanx supported by heavy pikemen, which were then re-introduced in late medieval/renaissance period.

If you force the enemy to stay in one place, you already win.

And we still use this hammer and anvil to this every day, support fire to suppressive enemy, assault move to flank and destroy enemy, repeat ad infinitum.

This! It takes a high level of mongrelization with the eternal Persian loser to fuck this up.
Proof that Ptolemies had the right idea and that inbreeding is only bad when it involves inferior genes.

Is it just me or does the shaded portion look like the continental United States + Alaska?
Jace Moore
Well, he's a vidy strategist. Not many games give you anything deeper than rock, paper scissors.

BREAKS YOUR PHALANX!

But the machine gunner will be weighed down by his first aid kit rendering him immobile, meanwhile the phalanx will flank him and kill him.
Not quite unbeatable, what you need is some sort of shotgun mounted underneath each spear, that would be truly unbeatable. Henry VII knows whats up.
