Shield Wall Fighting - how would you model it?

But the Saxons never developed a shield specialized for othismos like the Greeks. Specifically, the center-grip round shield was fairly popular amongst the various Germanic tribes. I'm not sure that the center-grip round shield is a good shield for this kind of conflict. Not that I don't think it happened, but I just wonder how prolonged and common the occurrence was.
