Remember the scene from Braveheart?

King Edward: "Tell the archers to fire."

General Fellow: "But milord, our men are still out there."

King Edward: (looks surprised): "Yes? But we'll hit theirs too."
I was discounting pikemen because they are actually worse in melee than line infantry. Although I have to admit they look cool in pikewall formation and pike square .
