So, what are some good formations for non-magic parties?

For a basher party the "flat" layout works well: 2 or 3 characters in each of the left quadrant, center, and right quadrant locations. Put the ones fighting with extended weapons on the flanks, so they can "reach out and touch" opponents on the other side. If someone is getting beat up too badly and you can't/don't want to heal him/her, move the injured character to the rear quadrant. Conversely, if you want a character to receive "extra attention" from the monsters, such as to build up Shield or Stealth, move that character to the front quadrant for a while.
