Sounds like a cool observation. If the pattern really worked back then, it probably had to do with terrain, unit spacing, and surprise. In modern skirmishes we deal with tanks, drones, and firepower that can’t be jammed by a neat arrangement. Still, the idea that a disciplined layout can tilt the odds is still true—just that the tactics change. Keep watching for the rhythm in the chaos, but don’t rely on a single shape to win.
