[edit] Deleting portion that pertains to sarissa phalanx, not classical phalanx

Deleting this portion: "However the spear was deployed, the rear ranks traditionally raised their spears straight upwards, a tactic which would have been useful at deflecting missiles when used in dense ranks."

This pertains to the pikes of the Macedonian sarissa phalanx, and not the classical phalanxes that used the doru. Intranetusa 02:43, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
