Which Jotun Infantry do you use mainly?

The Jotun spearman is the type I use the most. The axeman Version gets maluses to ATT & DEF, and has shorter range. The extra damage of axes is irrelevant as Jotuns are already strong enough to kill most foes with a single blow.

The Jotun huskarls and hirdmen lack protection, so I tend to not use them.

When playing the Utgard theme I also use the human huskarls. I recruit one for each Jotun spearman. My typical battle plan is to deploy 2 squads at the same spot, one of Jotun spearmen, one of human huskarls who are ordered to fire at closest. Not only did this reduces friendly fire a lot (the prot 18 giants don't care much anyway), it also allows the huskarls to advance through the giants when they've fired their javelins and help them not being mobbed.

Also don't forget Jotun hurlers, they're well suited for crushing heavy knights.
