Mercenaries bring new Tactics
The renowned tactic of the Pike and Shot is making its rounds within our military circles. Our officers and Court Title alike are intrigued by the tales men bring from the battlefield. The Rented Mercs, our own men who decided to make a living as soldiers of fortune, have witnessed the efficiency of this new strategy as the reckless cavalry was lacerated by the pikes while their infantry support found a gruesome death by the hand cannon.
Naturally, these anecdotes are a good reason for our military to further investigate these tactics. Plans have already been made to make practice rounds in Target Location.
