Weaponary of Nusantara

And what about 2 hp for some elite army and heavy euro units? I know the exgregation may took place in historical account, but the kill-death rate in native regulars vs elites, or vs well equipped europeans... Are simply too much, in all historical account, story of JP Coen led mere 4 or 5 hundreds of dutchmen (without local allies because that was an ambush) against more than 2.5 thousand joint javanese-banten army is real thing, because both euro and javanese accounts told almost the same thing. Of course, dutch win by formin a circle of pikes and halberds as soon as possible (phalanx noob box - if it was eb mp, im sure the javanese-banten army will quit), but it was their swordsmen charge who win the day.

Edit : that numbers come from european memoir that said 4 hundred merchantmen with 1 hundred guardsmen along with governor general was ambushed by about 4 thousands of well armed local army. The javanese wrote that 4 hundred dutch demons led by jp coen formed a circle of spears and defeat 2500 strong soldiers (actually they said prajurit, which implies that they are indeed regulars) by exhausting them, charge with swords and hack the line, only 1 out of 10 javanese soldiers was able to flee with their life. I personally think that even when most of the local soldiers obligingly thrown themself in front of the pikes, at least the dutch elites must have some better skill at close combat, unless they are really demons.
