Polearms are the weapon of choice for the disciplined warrior fighting in formation. For thousands of years, they had been the dominating force of the battlefield, and were only evenutally bested by the gun.
EFFECT:
Polearms negate an enemy's bonuses when performing a Charge (2 AP), instead allowing their wielder to immediately Counterattack (0 AP) the charger.
Additionally, they possess greater reach, capable of hitting targets at Close Range (when using real distances, this distance is reduced to 5m).
This greater reach extends to Overwatch (1 AP) and to their charge counter; the Counterattack (0 AP) takes place at the polearm's range and not at the enemy's.
