I use Pike & Shott but I ditch the silly Hedgehog rule and use Pike Company instead. I also adjust the the hand to hand and shooting stat up/down by 1 to reflect pike heavy or musket heavy units. Standard unit is 6 H to H / 2 Shooting, pike heavy 7/1, musket heavy 5/3, plays well and give players a bit more to think about.

Nice stuff!
I was always a bit wary of the separate pike & shot units - seemed very inelegant!

That always kind of struck me as a bit of a holdover from Warhammer: English Civil War :)
Unit did splendidly in first game failed to move, got shot to pieces and ran away :D

Awesome - sounds spot on for a newly raised & painted unit!

;D Sods Law that is.
Once saw a GW Eldar 40K Avatar thingy, that its owner had spent countless hours painting and it was his pride and joy, get destroyed in record time.
Out of the box...Onto the table...Bad dice rolls...Back in the box. :'(
That was its first game, too

Huzzah! ;D
It is karma, as a friend placed a brand new 20mm Hetzer on the table and also stated that he thought it was the best paint job on a model he had ever doe, so naturally the game turned into kill the Hetzer :D for some reason he called us names ;D ;D ;D

Wargames rule #4:
Any new model/unit/army on table will suffer an automatic-1 to all dice rolls, with a further -1 if it is the best painted unit on the table, and shall automatically fail any/all morale/break tests.
:D
