It truly puzzles me how the whole concept could have gone down the pipe like that. Started off with Naginata in STW, which were an awesome holding unit, continued as halberdiers in MTW who ,again, although painfully slow could hold any gate/bridge under hail of arrows. And look at them now! Bloody shame... halberd militia, voulgiers, billmen - they all suck! I'm a big cavalry fan, but even as such I must admit there is something deeply troubling about being able to rip through a double line of billmen with a bodyguard unit. Bloody shame...
