The favoured weapon of massed infantry regiments. Although too long to be used effectively on the charge, thrusting spears are the ideal defensive weapon. Their length enables their wielders to fight in multiple ranks whilst keeping the enemy at a (comparatively) safe distance and robbing them of their impetus, forcing them to battle past jabbing spear tips to close the distance.
