Turtle Tactics

As we have been neck deep in Roman warfare with the likes of the Gallic war and Caesar's civil war, I came across this cute video on FB. In a later post I do wish to explore military tactics throughout history, such as the Greek Phalanx, Viking Berserkers, Scottish Schiltrons, and Roman Maniple. But for now here is a pretty good example of the Roman formation of the turtle, it used to get in close to an enemy firing ranged weapons at your melee foot soldiers.
