The rules' description of 3pk as "hillmen with long spears used in both hands and mostly lacking shields (3Pk)" is a perfect description of Swiss pike.
It's also a perfect description of Scottish schiltrons.
Take out reference to hills and it perfectly describes all medieval and renaissance pikemen.
3PK is faster than 4Pk.
So were medieval/renaissance pike who were trained to maneuver independently and attack aggressively, compared to Hellenistic pike which served as a solid defensive wall.
So why not use 3PK to reference all medieval/renaissance pike
