Baratheon Halberdiers: A Song Of Ice & Fire

House Baratheon's doctrine of heavy arms and heavier armor serves well to make their force into a walking fortress. Difficult to assault and deadly to ignore, enemies find themselves in a conundrum, particularly against lines incorporating Halberdiers. The traditional weakness against cavalry shared by most infantry is nullified. Further, a cavalry or flanking force that hesitates in their charge against the Baratheon lines opens themselves up to weaknesses that a good commander can exploit. Many creative means of destroying the enemy become available to commanders that employ Halberdiers in their composition.
