Yea, that is a pretty freaky situation to be in the middle of. This would be the situation in battles between the Romans, the celts, the greeks, and the Germanic and Romanian tribes. Picture this: There is a single line of Roman legionarres, facing alarge wedgeformation of Celtic chariots.Each chariot has one driver, and one slinger or archer on theback. Behind the chariots are several celtic warbands, each making a horrifying sound by blowing their horns, yelling to intimidate the romans, and taking their spears or swords and banging them against their sheilds. Archers and slingers fire volley after volley,and the romans answer this with several return volleys of arrows and greek fire. The skirmish would continue, and the celtic chariots would circle around the roman formation tormenting them before hand-tohand combat began.
These battles would occur on very large scales, sometimes each army would have as many as 100,000 men.In one batlle in Southern Mercia, the romans suffered 70,000 casualties (not too sure about how much the other side lost. Sling a rock at a piece of loose sheet metal and multiply that noise times 200,000.
