DEASE!!!! I LOVE YOU MAN!!! YOUR MY HERO!! this unit is freaking sweet. Got an in game preview? When will it be ready? So perfect...just in time for my test release of scenario.

 

[kevincompton]

Oh Thursday? Ok cool. It will come out on my final releas of my scenario then. Probably a UU or maybe a precurser to pikeman? We'll see...

 

[Goldflash]

Halbreeder would could after the pikeman, no?

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Halbreds were the successors to the Pike. They were used during the 1500's until the invention of the Bayonet.

 

[Dease]

The halberdier would probably be used the same as a pikeman but with higher attack (and come a bit later)
in RaR thier stats are 3/4/1 and the pike is 2/4/1 (or is it 1 attack?, cant remember )

@GF - is a pike version really needed? I think the normal pikeman is good, but I might make it jsut for the sake of variety

 

[Goldflash]

Only make it if you want to, Dease. I would like the long pike if you make it though, but I don't really have a preferance...

'What I really want is for people to make Warhammer 40K units... But.. erm.. we knew that.

 

[Dease]

hehe, I guess i lied (unknowlingly of course )
the generic pikeman is here

.....now i must rest for a few days

 

[Mr. Do]

You may rest in peace, good sir.
