Re: Spear vs Sword
Quote:
30%+ losses in a single battle, even an extended one, and if the unit was still capable of fighting effectively it was moderately miraculous and afterwards you'd probably want to shuffle the survivors around within the unit as you brought it back up to strength, so the changes in roles and position in the unit helped them lose sight of how many of their comrades were gone.
