Talk:Pike square

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I believe that stating that the Pike Square was developed by the Swiss Confederacy would be forgetting a little bit of history. It would be more accurate to call it a adaptation of the Macedonian Phalanx developed by Philip of Macedon. Although the Phalanx is, by definition, a formation that is wider than it is deep (as opposed to a infantry square) it shares the same basic elements. The Pike Square is simply a more mobile and fluid formation, being a square. 12.183.29.2 16:47, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Is there any cavalry formation other than hussaria which could frontally charge and destroy pike squares? If not, maybe short link to Hussaria would be justified? Szopen 11:39, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
