I was surprised that spear and shield wasn't in TROS (no probs as it gives me yet another reason to get FOB).
I think I was going to use sword and shield.
Not sure how useful a shield wall is for small groups as you would be easy to flank. Although saying that I have seen accounts of Saxon and Viking encounters with numbers as low as 30 men per warband where it seemed they did literally line up and go at it. I guess if the numbers are more or less the same and both opposing forces are similarly equipped it works. Or perhaps it's because unless you have a very large numerical superiority it would just be too foolish to break from the security of your own formation and try to get round the flanks of a shield wall.
