The definitive pikeman flag

[kobayashi]

Sometimes I read that the pikeman flag has certain conditions required for the attacking unit.

Hit points?
Fire Power?
Movement of 3 or more?
Air/Sea/Heli units?

Does anyone know EXACTLY when the pikeman flag works.

I did some very quick and dirty testing to understand how it affected a certain nice little WW2 scenario with "low hitpoints and high firepower" written by someone around here and it seems to give the bonus when defending against Move=2 (not at 3) and Hitpoint=1 (not at 2), but FP of either 1 or 2 is ok (did not test higher). I did not test defending against anything but ground troops. It's not much information, but hopefully that's a start for you.

Pikeman Flag:

Hit points: must be 1
Firepower: can be anything (pretty sure)
Movement: Must be 2
Unit: Must be ground

And it gives a +50% bonus rounded down.

Great, I'm gping to give the pike man flag to all my armoured units in the upcoming BFC scenario. (since tanks can move 3 and infantry 2). What an irony.
