USA. We were very unprepared for a war .
Yep, on D-Day in Iraq, we launched over 500,000 pikemen to capture the flag which Rome was holding. Didn't go so well for us but those Spartans didn't win by much with there muskets.

pikemen are obsolete in this era, they won't be effective at holding off a tank charge kidding

[antisocialmunky]

I dunno, these are WW1 tanks.

[Icey Fresh Werewolf]

I dunno, these are WW1 tanks.

He said he was kidding, which means that he was saying that pikes ARE effective at holding off a tank charge!

But yeah, pikes would be useless compared to riflemen.

My Great Grandfather was in the homeguard in WW1, at the rank of Regimental Sergeant Major. I can safely say he didn't have a pike.
