Halberds with spearwall ability, from the units file:

French Voulgiers
Danish Swordstaff Militia
French Partisan (Voulge) Militia
Generic Halberd Militia
Danish Obudshaer
Papal Swiss Guard

Abilities: long_pike, spear, phalanx (spearwall), AP, spear_bonus 4 (used against mounted units)

They will absorb the initial charge like pikemen, then switch over to hacking things apart in melee. Good hybrid unit.

Halberds without spearwall ability (partial list only as there is no quick way to scan the units file for them):

Turkish Janissary Heavy Infantry
English Billmen
English Bill Militia
Dismounted Chivalric Knights
Dismounted English Knights
Dismounted French Nobles

Abilities: AP, spear_bonus 4 (used against mounted units)

These fellows are equipped with shorter halberds, I guess. No special defense against cavalry charges. They should be treated as ultra-quick axemen instead of true halberds.
