Yes thats why this re-enforced my previous post as they were primarily used as back-up weapons. The 2 handers Landsknecht (the Doppelsoldnel) as you stated were in minimum and only primarily used to break up pike columns, but again, these units were only secondary to their fellow pike/spears users, who were, the undisputed backbone of the high-end medieval army.
And yeah...this is off topic..... To be frank, in episode 4, I like how the spears are played, leet..
