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.

(And that they loose this option after their first melee)
