Fire and steel #3

Armies with enormous power raised huge empires that marked the history of humanity at the time... on this occasion I refer to the mythical Phalanx Macedonia that thanks to its main weapon the sarissa which was a long and monstrous spear of more than five Meters in length introduced a combat system that earned them to extend their reign by Asia, Europe and North Africa for more than two centuries... but above all to achieve the destruction of the Persian empire that was one of the most rough in history, under the command of the ingenious Alexander the great the most representative character of the kingdom of Macedonia, his army found no similar opponents.. during the battle only the first five rows of soldiers presented their spears in front while the rest were erected as protection against the arrows resulting an impenetrable system for their opponents... but eventually their style of combat wielding these huge spears was being obsolete by the new advances, logic and methods of combat... so after the defragmentation of the Macedonian army after the demise of Magno his weakened infantry over time was replaced by other factions and tactics of military armies... A majestic and long-awaited scenario to get inside that reality is "Total War: Rome II"
