I like the idea of a line of ballistic shields coming at you, the loud thunderous "stomp" as they inch closer and the hoot and hollering coming from the line as they get close enough to break ranks and close for hand to hand combat.
Against a poorly armed, poorly trained average group it could come down to that no?

Would be interesting and in many cases this would be probably the way to move a unit forward. On the other hand a well place Grenade, rocket/mortar barrage will tear them apart. Even a well trained archery unit could tear a unit that not trained in the old Roman formation here troops behind the first line would hold and interlock shield above their head protect the force below.
I am sure some of the Firsts units and even some Seconds and Thirds that had served as Police Officers would know something about this.
again just some thoughts.
