Spear vs sword... in Feudal Japan, the spears are the primary battlefield weapon of the Samurai. Swords are just sidearms.

I believe this whole thread is becoming underhanded if you ask me.

In Japan the hand can be used like a knife...






...but not with a tomato.

  While art works may show a preponderance of overhand spear-postures, it seems likely that for much of the time, the spears where held in other ways.


  Some overhand thrusts:

Shogun 2's battlefields are too small. NTW's Are the size of Kansas. Could be just me though, I played Shogun 2 on a 'Shamefurl Display'.  :DD

   I'm actually very happy with the Rise of the Republic -- good maps, fun units -- Actually - it's my favorite total war ever (bye Shogun 2!).

   Oh dear...I'm regressing.  First -- Napoleonic games (don't people get over that by the time they are 59?) and now this (yes back to Rise of the Republic and hoplites):

If loving hoplites is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

  So true and so wrong.  Here's a slippery moment from a serious melee in Apulia:

There appears to be a guy in the back having some major issues.

  I think that might include Carthage, Syracuse and some Sardinians.  No Greeks from Greece or transapline Gauls though.

  I gave up on the Tarscans (wait...those are the northern enemies of the Mexica) I mean the Tarentines.  I switched back to my old favorites the Northen Gauls whose name i can't spell for some reason and well...they did okay mostly but these heavy Etruscan hoplites on a snowy field beat them.  In fact the Etruscan Heavy hoplites beat about 10 times their number of barbarians attacking from all sides.  Thankfully they went home when their original city was threatened but here they are being attacked from all sides:
