Normally thrown at the enemy at close range immediately prior to melee combat.
Not really a missile weapon, more like an assault weapon, the Roman heavy javelin pila could also be used as a spear when forming a shield wall against cavalry attack.
Suggest that Polybian/Marian Roman Legion 4BD units be treated as 4SP units when facing mounted troops to reflect the pila's dual capabilities.

I am going to mention rivers romans crossing up to there waist holding there big shields out of the Walter to stop being swept away and throwing there pila which i think contributes to there combat factor of 5.My pikemen with walter up to there ankles can not hold there pikes steady.
