BOAR SPEAR (polearm)
====================
Weight: ~4 kg
Rank(s): 1st and 2nd row
Boar spear is a very thick massive spear with a broad
head. They are versatile, since they can be used by footmen
and horsemen alike. The former can set their spears into the
ground, in hope of impaling a charging enemy. Footmen can use
thse spears as melee weapons or as missile weapons. Horsemen
use spears in much the same way as lances.
As for long spears, unless one is prepared to forego
shield protection and use the weapon with two hands, it is not
worth selecting over the normal spear. Long spears need room
to be wielded properly, they cannot be thrown, their damage
is not much better than a normal spear, and they are slower
than their smaller bretheren.
Some skill(s) usable with the weapon:
Battlecry, impale, lure, mangle and polearms.

halberd and lance.
