The lance will win if he can keep the saber guy from getting too close to him. On the other hand, if the saber guy is able to get very close to the lance guy, then saber wins the day.

i would tend to go with sabre. it would seem to me that a good swordsman could easily parry a spear thrust and get in close, then again a good spearman could.........

That's the reason why I'm asking the question. But it's interesting to take note that in the pre-Napolonic period and also Napolonic; Lancers were also armed with a sword; but not as well developed as the eavy cavarly
if you have a spear and you can keep the guy with the sabre away from you, fine. but if he gets near you, you better have a sword or something

Or if the lancer's a good thrower -- it's harder to replace a well-trained horse than it is a spear...

One question...does this have to do have with "discussion about the current playable version of STW; including strategy, tactics, and tips?" Enough posts have been closed in this forum recently to make me not want this close this one, but guys please and now I'm begging you please post things in the right forum! Make my job easy!
Humbly,
Shiro

Well; it's a comment on tactics and the way we would use the Lancers and Heavy Cavrly; can't understand why it can't be put down as a part of this forum.
Any spearman worth his koku should never be without his trusty .44 magnum when confronted by a swordsman,just like Indiana Jones!

War Writer- it's not specifcally about the game. It can be put down in these forum but probably it would be better placed in Off-Topic.

Well depends on the sabre :P
I use lightsabre and is quite easy to kill anything with it.
I would suggest to buy a gun though :P
