Halberdiers

[m52nickerson]

Perhaps Polish Halbs are better then most, but I charge cavaly head on with them all of the time in my campaigns. That includes heavys. Most of the time the cavalry routs after only a few moments. Yes the halbs take a few loses, but far far less then the cavs unit.

.....and yes Prince Cobra Pavised Arbs can hold up to a GH charge unitl the halbs engage. Not the best way to do it by far but it works.

From a battle with the GH in which I used my halbs.
