Good thing history also tells us how these formations were defeated and fell out of fashion

I'm not a time traveller or anything but could you tell me how

[-] KidnappedByKitties@lemm.ee 20 points 7 months ago

I believe the answer was high maneuverability to circumvent them (the formation is slow to move in) and/or explosives/area of effect.

Get a grenade, molotov or tear gas canister in that formation and they'll not have a good time.

I also believe a vehicle of just about any size bigger than like a golf cart should do the job.

Not if that vehicle is vulnerable to spears, like a horse, or a Prius.

Excellent suggestion actually, a solution much newer than the retirement of the Testudo.

In that category, also bombing from an aircraft, heavy munitions, armor piercing rounds, chemical, nuclear and biological warfare, pit traps, land mines, incendiary rounds, rod of god, sonic weapons, disorienting weapons, etc.

I believe a decent guerilla warfare tactic would be explosives/area of effect/molotovs/thermite by drone.
