dark471 20 Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 If this a Pole Arm, why is it called Halberd of the Commander? These 2 names weapon types) confuse me enough the way it is. 1

It is the primary reason, why so many uniques have been not only altered model-wise, but also renamed in the Addendum. I'm not a native Germanic group language(to which English belongs) bearer, so the strangeness might seem even more acute to me. 1
Popular Post chattius 2,728 Posted July 24, 2021 Popular Post Posted July 24, 2021 The Helmbarte was a more modern version of the Rossschinder (ross = horse, schinder = hurting) a weapon designed to stop cavalry. Helm is ancient german for pole, barte for axe. A halberd usually combines the horse stopping power of a lance with the cutting ability of an axe against infantry. The Hellebarde (halberd) was a lighter developement of the Helmbarte for parades, guard troops (today the swiss guards of the Vatikan still use them), ceremonies, A Feldherr (translated as commander) is the highest commanding officer(or noble) who leads the Herr (army) on the Feld (battlefield). I think Alexander and Rommel are some of the few leaders who commanded from the frontline. The rest was choosing a hill and was using messengers. These Feldherrn had light decorated Hellebarden often with colourful ribbons to show there position to their troops. With time they got more and more decorated and less useful as a weapon. The picture below shows some halberds. Armour piercing points when knight had horses with armour, spear points in areas with no armoured horses,... Hooks to tear knights from horses, sickles to cut legs of horses when pulling the halberd back... Then with muskets the halberdiers build a front line against cavalry to guard their musketeers and the halberds had to become even lighter to be more mobile. No longer massive heads, but light ones with holes. They could be light because with x-bows and then muskets opponents weren't wearing massive armour any longer. There was not just one halberd 1 1

While leading the men from the front appeals to sense of honor and may improve the morale and the authority of the commander, from a practical standpoint it was and is a gross negligence. Especially when a sniper, or a machinegun team is in the area. Once the officers are killed, the troops become a disorganized mess. Been that way since at least 16-th century. 1

I remember there were only a small number of weapons that could work with those builds. Quite boring have to "tock" enemies to death, but while on fire with the force of a swigged alchemical potion almost all was possible! gogo
