Phalanxes and other dense formations such as shieldwalls and wedges can be extremely dense. I think the general idea for Synaspismos, or locked shields, is something like 1.5 feet of width. However, keep in mind that in synaspismos, the first rank would literally have their backs against the bellies of the the rank behind, them, resulting in an extremely dense formation, close to about 4 men per "hex". This has generally lead me to limit the number of SM0 characters per hex to 4. Prone targets occupy two hexes, but count only once, and allow up to 3 more people in the close combat.
