Swiss Militia Halberdiers

Medieval 2 Total War - Machiavello mod | Model for Swiss Militia Halberdiers of the Canton of Uri of the Swiss Confederation. Swiss militias are recruited in local cantons, and contemporary illustrations show them in their colours. Uri, whose symbol is a black bull’s head on a yellow field, dresses them in black and yellow. Halberdiers accompany pikemen marching in formation, protecting their flanks. Halberds, or “Swiss voulges”, evolved from earlier polearms, broad and meant for hacking, with a pointy top for thrusting. They also added a grappling hook in the back, and later the design shifted in resembling The model is mainly a combination of work made by the mod team and some OSP pack developed for Mount & Blade Warband.
