Finally something interesting to show.


Mounted Pikemen

When marching, fighting or standing still they do not use their steeds.




But when they need to move quickly they mount the steeds and re-deploy quickly.



Present in the new campaign Lion of the North and available to all German factions ( Hapsburgs, Bavaria, Brandenburg, Saxony, Palatinate, Munster, Hessen, Pommern, Courland) + for Bohemia and by the German Petty State for those factions which can create one (e.g. Poland or Spain).

The unit will be excellent for those who like cavalry armies - together with musket armed dragoons these dragoon pikemen will be able to create a defensive line wherever necessary.

Their main flaws however will be small numbers (50 men), slightly weaker stats and the inability to fight well in forested areas (have horses which cause such problem).

I am quite proud of this unit - it required some cunning approach to create this hybrid.

More later.
