While it’s true that Dornish seem to use throwing spears, does that rule out spearwall tactics ? After all the Unsullied use 3 spears(presumably 1 long+2 thrown) & even in our world the Roman Hastati & Principes of the Camillian era used both the thrusting hasta & throwing javelins. Oberyn seemed to prefer a long spear as well.

That’s true, but I wouldn’t call the Romans spearwall tactics – they far prefered a checkerboard tactic that allowed for superior flexibility compared to the packed-in phalanx.
