But the unit in the video has no shields and are using a 2-handed weapon and aren't in a very tight formation either.
As I said earlier, it doesn't look perfect, they shouldn't run through them like that and should react to the first rank but it looks far better then let's say RTW where sometimes the unit stops and slowly walk up to the enemy and these are berserkers I'm talking about.
But if you look on you can see the cavarly doesn't have this and do hit the front rank.
agree with you...
