Hello, the POA table entries for melee and impact for pikes look like this:

but I am a little bit confused about the wording.

Are these stacking and the pikes can get up to +200? So you are getting the first 100 from having at least 3 ranks and not being fragmented or severely disordered, and you get the second 100 from having the full ranks and being steady, where steady is:

"A unit is only STEADY for combat purposes if it is neither Disrupted, Fragmented or Broken, nor Moderately or Severely Disordered"

?


thanks

These are indeed stacking modifiers. Within the game, the 2nd PoA modifier is known as "deep pike".

It is also important to note that unlike other PoA modifiers in the game, this one is unique to close combat troops in that they degrade with casualties. Deep Pike is actually 100 PoA x % strength of the back rank. Pike is similarly modified as a percentage of the first 3 ranks still intact.

cool thanks!
