Re: What have been decisive weapons?
Well the tactics Cumberland used with the Bayonet where each man protected the one to his right were limited in their usage. Plus, it required a lot of discipline for the troops to hope the man to their left would protect them. Despite the boggy ground hampering the Jacobite charge, the Hannoverian right flank still very nearly broke at Culloden. Thankfully it didn't.

Re: What have been decisive weapons?
I keep wondering why the bayonette supposedly changed so much?
I mean once you fired the shot in the rifle you're basically left with a short spear.

Well the melee tigers come close and you give them a full shot, people fall etc it slows down, hold them of, rotate formation reload blam.I keep wondering why the bayonette supposedly changed so much?
