Well, my replies are theoretical since I'm just in my first High game as the Italians (never used pikes/halbs before) but my plan is to stick with spears as the line, although of course I do have Italian Inf to play with . However, I'd still stick with CS or Saracens - I like the rows bonus vs. cav.

Pavise Xbow/arbalest : no pavice Xbow/arbalest
Pavise for defensive armies, non pavise for attackers, don't bother with crossbows go straight for arbs is my rule.

My plan is to try a mix of halberbiers and CMAA (2 of each per optimal army) and see how it goes.

But, like I said, these are my current plans - it may all go pear shaped. I'll let you know .
