The 2 base frontage exception for pike blocks is nice to know, but will you ever be able to generate enough casualties to move the pile using only a 2 base frontage? I think the 3 x 3 base massed pike unit does a good job of representing the tendancy of pikes to be formed in very large units during this period. I struggle though with a cost effectiveness analysis on whether in a 1250 point game a unit or units of 9 bases of pikes will be effective enough to justify the expense. In a no-point friendly game, no problem, but otherwse I doubt I would field one of my pike armies from this period in a tournament.
