A phalanx is an unbroken row of men of one color on a line.
The shortest possible phalanx consists of two men. A king is never part
of a phalanx! A phalanx moves, as a whole, one square forward along a line,
provided the square in front is vacant. A phalanx may not move backward.
Diagram 3
In actual play not all men of a phalanx are moved. One simply picks up the last man of
the phalanx one intends to move, and puts it in front.
Of course this may be another than the last man of the entire phalanx.
