Description

When fighting on foot the Halbbrüder prefer to exchange their sword for the versatility of the halberd. While their armor is sometimes lighter than that of their foes, their true strength lies in their training, which ensures they are capable fighters, with or without their steeds.

Usage

If the Sword Brethren (Teutonic Order) can cut through against lightly armored infantry, these men can be considered as their complete opposite as they can easily crush heavily armored infantry with a powerful charge and they easily defeat them with their armor-piercing halberds.

Best used as front-line assault infantry against heavily armored infantry, they should not be wasted to attack light infantry as the Sword Brethren can deal with them. They can also be effective as line infantry if you lack enough units of Order Spearmen (Teutonic Order) to protect your line.
