Im not one of you smelly fish
but i am interested in tactics. I was considering the ammount of pike and pike formations that are around atm. What do you guys consider the best way to break these?
I was thinking about a shieldwall charge or even a semi shieldwall charge (Shielders in lose line formation. It seems to me that every time Me and another shielder or two charge a line of enemies on eu1 we get our shields hit by 4-5 pikes. So a shielder charge closely followed by 2h/polearm users would be great to break a pike wall. The shielders take the hits and keep moving followed by 2h means they have to drop the pikes and get out the melee weapons.
To me it seems a good idea but crushthrough with pikes would be painfull or if the pikers are organised well. Have you guys found any good tactics for a group of pikers? please poke holes in my ideas before it leads to mass failure ^^
