No, not that
Firesign Theatre is funnier than Monty Python. That's just straight up fact.
No, I think there is something wrong with miniatures games that
do not feature changes of formation. Speaking for myself and coming from a background of hex-n-counter games as well as someone who likes to look at those goofy museum dioramas, mini games that don't change formation just don't do it for me. Think about it: do you want to look at six horses (and a flag) on a rectangular base bumping up against ten infantry men (and a flag) on another rectangular base, or do you want to look at reiters doing a caracole?
But, but, but, ..., you say... (Stop doing the motorboat impression!) ...in a big battle, the commander isn't interested in the formations taken by minuscule units. In the first place, ten men and a flag is not an infantry battalion. Just use kriegspiel blocks for the units. (Or glockenspiel blocks, if by spell check has its way.) On a map. It'll look better and you can wear that period uniform you bought and be part of the experience.
Whew. I feel better.
