Why do war games have formations what exactly do they offer to combat? Also do modern militaries use them? and if so what’s changed in terms of how the formations are made.
In: Technology
when two swordmen fight back-to-back against a crowd, they each need to defend one less side (particularly their vulnerable back) while both can still attack almost at full range. Their formation serves a mutual benefit.
The same principle itself is used in larger formations, although less obvious. Depending on the weapons used, the number of warriors, the weapons your enemy has available, different formations serve different purposes.
