>Swiss pikeman could Out march mounted units>Their pl8 armor and pike formation worked very well against longbowsCould you have had this guys Just march toward the steppe niggers horse archers resuply line and close the gap when their horses were tired to engage them in glorious melee?
yeah
>>64663438No.
>>64663438Did the one in red crap his pants?
>>64663438>legs unarmouredI was a swiss pikeman like you, but then i got a mongol arrow to the knee...
>>64663438>Just march toward the steppe niggers horse archers resuply lineThey don't have resupply line...>Their pl8 armor and pike formation worked very well against longbowsBecause longbowmen can't shoot running away so their time window of shooting is short. Horse archers can kite infantry shooting on the move.
>>64663438While the swiss maneuvered fast and often surprised their enemies during the burgundian and early italian wars I have never read about them outmarching cavalry. So when did this happen?
