phalanxes
Philip II of Macedon improved the phalanx by increasing the length of his soldiers' spears. The greater reach this "Macedonian phalanx" provided this soldiers allowed them to decrease the amount of armor they wore, which, in turn, allowed for greater mobility.

They stopped using the phalanx because they found that the maniple gave them more mobility on the battlefield.
The Romans abandoned the phalanx because they found that the mobility of the maniple was much more effective. The phalanx was a close formed, rigid formation, whereas the maniple (and later cohort) could be deployed in various ways to better suit battle conditions.

Many ancient generals were successful with the phalanx miltary formation as this formation was in widespread use in the Mediterranean for several centuries. The phalanx was a tight square formation with the infantrymen were tightly packed in 8 or more lines. It was part of the hoplite military "revolution" which started in Greece in the 7th cntury BC and spread around the Mediterranean. The hoplite was first heavy infantryman in history. He wore a bronze armour and helmet and used a bronze round shield and sword. The many wars between the Greek states were fought using the Phalanx. In Italy the Phalanx was adopted by the Etruscans and the Romans. The Romans abandoned the phalanx when they were defeated by the Samntes in 321 BC and adopted the manipular formation of the Samnites.The three most famous generals in the period of the phalanx formation were Greek: Pericles, Pyrrhus and Alexander the Great.
To write 12 more than B, you would write the expression as B + 12. This means you are adding 12 to the value of B.
well they are weakest when facing an enemy fielding lighter and more flexible troops If a Phalanx was attacked from the front, it presented a virtually impenetrable hedge of spears. The close-packed mass of men also gave a Phalanx great physical momentum in an advantage or change, allowing it to physically force opponents back. Lastly, all ranks other than the front few held their spears or sarissas upright, helping block any missile fire. Of course, these could be countered by the fact that a Phalanx was extremely vulnerable to a flanking or rear attack by a more flexible cavalry or infantry formation.
