[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

Hey,

besidea Wiki Article about them, I can't really find Informatino About Swiss Aroumuded Pikemen during the 15-17 centuries. Anyone can help me out??

The usual practice with pike (or about any battlefield) formations was to have the best armoured dudes in the front ranks, so their less well equipped comrades benefited from their gear. Given that the typical pike square had several thousand men, the cost-efficiency logic therein is hard to dispute. While rather brief, this (http://www.myarmoury.com/feature_armies_swiss.html) gives a decent overview of the basics.
