Pike Square

pike_square

Throughout the Middle Ages, the dominance of cavalry was challenged by disciplined pikemen. In battles such as Bannockburn or the Golden Spurs, the pikemen decimated the cavalry. A combination of improved training and discipline, and the addition of swordsmen to provide close combat support, has raised this formation to the peak of its efficiency.
