Some Play Testing Outcomes

Stevie, thanks for the arithmetic analysis. I admit I still don't support the idea that somehow this is for the Bd's advantage (and goes against Joe's stated aim of improving Pike). One other telling reason whilst it is not a good idea is that it will improve Fast Pike - which will cause more problems.
Perversely I would say Joe's Pike idea would actually be good for Fast Pike (good as in more historical not necessarily better for the Fast Pike) provided that Fast Pike no longer receive rear support (the idea of rapidly moving deep formations of Pikes - as represented by Pk(F) is historically untenable I think).

cheers
