What are the advantages of a spear?
The main problem is that the spear works best at length, since the point is the only killing part of the shaft, so if an enemy were to knock away the point then he can run in close to you and set about you with a shorter weapon such as a sword, although the spear can be shortened so that you hold it nearer the head, so combat at closer ranges is possible, however the remainder of the spear behind makes it more cumbersome to use thus than another weapon of the effective length. Another problem is that if the enemy has a shield, 1 on 1 there is no real way of maneuvering the spear around it to strike somewhere vital, although in formations or even just 3 on 3, the spear never targets the man in front but the man to the sides, as the pawn in chess, so while an open dissarray of spearmen can be cut down by swordsmen, a tightpacked and well trained line of spearmen can pull apart a trained line of swordsmen. In short, the spear is disadvantaged 1 on 1 in battle, and also at close quarters.
