PIKE & SHOT TACTICTS
One of the main problem I had, was to understand how really worked the pike and shot system, i.e. how this 2 kind of units interacted between them.
The use of a 1:1 ratio system helped me a little, as you will see in the next pictures.
Here above a Danish Battalion in 1676 with 6 ranks deep musketeers and 4 ranks deep pikemen.
In case of a cavalry attack how would they react? Here an answer.

Above: the Fynske Regiment is attacked by the Swedish cavalry
Above: the pikemen move forwards in order to protect the musketeers
Down: the pikemen arrayed in the front of the musketeers - that moved centerwards - to form a wall against the attacking cavalry
