Army Drills

"It worked for the Romans. It can work again for us."

Although many barbarian peoples favoured ambush and shock tactics, there were some who developed techniques especially for use in pitched battles. The Germans, for instance, favoured columns, and when warriors from different tribes fought together each tribe formed its own column. This not only allowed them to fight in their own styles - using their own chants and war dances - but created rivalry on the battlefield, encouraging warriors to prove their fighting prowess to their neighbours. At the Battle of Pollentia the Visigoths displayed their tactical prowess by using cavalry to cut off the Roman retreat, whilst their infantry trapped the Emperor Honorius by preventing his withdrawal into the capital he was attempting to flee. This level of co-ordination could not have been achieved without extensive drilling of their forces, something which must’ve seemed entirely alien to them at the time.
