Pike and shot versus Shot in melee
Posted: Tue May 17, 2011 8:12 am
Hi
Just want to make sure i have this correct -
C17 pike and shot units 4 shot /2 pike appear to have
no melee/impact advantages over all shot units.
Unless i am missing something the only potential
advantage the pike/shot unit has is in cohesion tests.
Does the pike/shot Iunit count as heavy while the
shot count as medium ?
If not then i can see why infantry went all shot - the
only advantage is against cavalry.
