Macedonian or Greek Pike

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

I think I should be allowed to make a prone Macedonian (with the weapon of your choice

Can we have a full 18' pike and then one open handed(coz someone will complian without the other option).

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

You're rotten rotters, that's what you are.

Picking on poor Nobby.

But you are such a good target, almost as good as Kitty or Phil

[Ithoriel]

I think I should be allowed to make a prone Macedonian (with the weapon of your choice).....Just to annoy Nobby.

Cheers - Phil

Isn't that just a casualty figure?

[fsn]

Not if it's a crew served weapon.

(I was thinking it more of a soldier who would poke his adversaries in the ankle. .....Getting under the shield, and all that. ) 

[fsn]

Yes, well let's not think about prone figures ... let's just eliminate them from our minds shall we?

Ditto kneeling figures.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Can I request a kneeling pikeman too then?

[fsn]

I have to admit there was a certain inevitability to that.   

[Techno II]

I'm up for that, Will....

Cheers - Phil. (Who is being bombarded with fake calls today......Eight and counting.....I'm getting very peed off.)

No kneeling pikemen? You should have told that to Gerry Embleton before he did the illustrations for MAA 94, The swiss at war.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Different period - different tactics. The Swiss kenlt to recive cavalry. Cause they held the pike on the sholder, Macedonians were at waist level.
