    I tested this with 4 papal guards and holy cross versus 5 spearman and 15 peasants. Altought I had tight line on the bridge end and peasants whre going down and panicing. They still pushed my units back a lot. I looked ver closely and saw my troops actually backing up step by step.

    Another thing was that the units arent keeping thight line as they used to but spreading wide when brawling starts.

    Yeah, the shear mass of the peasants and the spearmen drow your units back... Its quite realistic really, once you think about it. Hundreds of peasants charging at a spear wall will eventually push it back... I usually have archers at the flanks and then heavy infantry at the bridge, the archers will mow down much of the enemy while my infantry will slay the others, in kingdom, Halbruder works wonders...
