Default Re: Pike vs Cavalry

Pikes were effective because cavalry simply couldn't charge the formation lest they impale themselves, the same reason archers might hammer stakes into the ground in front of themselves. An awful lot of wargames don't represent that, although as said above the repel mechanics in Dom3 at least go some way to make pikes a bit more useful.
