I am having a lunch brake at work and thought i'd write this so i could get some good MTW reading when i get home![]()
The first choice is:
Spears : pikes : polearms
Let's leave out the special ones like bills or SAP. If you could only build latest regular units of this kind, let's say Chivalric sergeants, halberdiers and pikeman. Now who of these would you choose to be the bulk of your army, to be the main mass to hold the line?
Another smaller question, how good are halberdiers against cav, can they take a charge head on and still win? Basicly this is the same as the first one, can they replace spears or pikes?
The second choice is:
Pavise Xbow/arbalest : no pavice Xbow/arbalest
Is the shield worth it, they do loose a lot of speed and that is bad while attacking?
The third choice:
Polearms : swords
Let's say you use spears or pikes as the main line, would you choose polearms or swords as the flankers that do the messy melee or would you use a mix of these? Also let's not caunt the cav, they are another story![]()
Now put your thoughts below....the first speaker is?![]()
