The Pike was one of the key weapons of the Pike & Shotte era – a long pole weapon wielded by foot soldiers, the Pike was effective not only against enemy infantry, but also proved particularly potent when facing enemy cavalry. The sheer number of spearheads presented by a well-regimented Pike block would prove near-impenetrable and a welcome refuge for the attached musket wings!
We’ve taken a look back through the Warlord Games arsenal to pick-out some of the key Pike units that we have on offer – take a look!
Don’t forget our recently released Pike & Shotte supplement – The Devil’s Playground – is now shipping! Covering the period of the apocalyptic Thirty Years War there are plenty of pikes on show!
