Lyriana & RaidMaster

I was reading about the phalanx at Gaugamela—such disciplined coordination. Do you think those principles could inform how we line up our raid team?

Yeah, the phalanx is all about tight spacing, overlapping cover, and everyone moving as one unit. For a raid you need the same: clear roles, a strict entry order, and non‑talking checkpoints. If you can map the phalanx lines to your team—first a flanking opener, then a front‑liner, then a support cluster—you’ll reduce blind spots. Just don’t over‑think it; you’ll lose the moment when the enemy throws a surprise. Keep it tight, keep it fast.

Sounds reasonable—tightly chained roles and a strict entry order do echo the phalanx’s discipline. I’ll sketch a quick schematic and note where we can insert fallback paths, just in case. Does the intel suggest any likely surprise elements on the eastern flank?
