  • $\begingroup$ As per the first post below. The problem is your asking everyone to come with reason why what was universally known as an offensive strategy would be used in a defensive role. Answer? It wouldn't! I say this because in general terms a parody is something that in involves a mocking 'imitation of something, using the same form as the original'. The problem? Your question involves 'mocking' something in a situation where it wouldn't be used at all! A parody in this case? would mock say a pike wall, or a shield wall. $\endgroup$ Commented 2 days ago

  • $\begingroup$ @KafeeByte. Not in the situation as described it isn't. When you have the element of surprise or some other factor shifting the odds your way fine. But the only 'surprise' in this situation would be seeing someone being silly enough to do what the knights are doing. $\endgroup$ Commented 2 days ago

    $\begingroup$ If it's parody then why do you need an excuse? Just have a character say this doesn't make sense as a defensive formation and then nobody pays any attention and they go ahead with it anyway. $\endgroup$ Commented yesterday
