The Battle of Ajancourt

A pike is a big stick and it looks like an axe on the top, but it has a spear point at the top. Imagine an axe with like hooks on the bottom and then a spearhead out the top. The idea was dudes are coming at you with horses; you can stick them with a spear side or if they're running past you, you flip around,. You can reach up and you can hook them with the bottom part of the hike to pull them off their horse. Once you get them on the ground, you win. A poleman is just designed to perfectly grab something, anything, that ensagery after that.
