Both MS and UM are armed with polearms according to frogs unit guide, and as such they get a AP bonus. But do they get a bonus against cavalry as well?

I am pretty sure MS's do but I'm not sure about UM's but I do know that UM's get bonus's against armored units.

I'm pretty sure neither get a bonus against cavalry, at least thats what it says in the unitprod file. But I could be wrong as these two units generate a lot of confusion.

Re: Q: Militia Sergeants/Urban Militia and bonuses from polearm.
IIRC, virtually all units w/ polearms not only have the AP bonus, but also an anti-cavalry bonus, with the big exception being urban militia and militia sergeants. The cav bonus is independent of the polearm weapon.

Thats right! I remember now. Only chivalratic foot knights and halbardiers get anti-cav bonuses!

Re: Q: Militia Sergeants/Urban Militia and bonuses from polearm.
Thanks for the replies! I downloaded the excellent GnomeEditor and checked the stats in the unitprod file for myself. All polearm units get +3 att against cavalry except UM and MS as ajaxfetish stated.
That explains why my MS are crap against french royal knights....
