In episode 11 of 5 Minute Warfare, we explore the Pike and Shot era, a revolutionary period in battlefield tactics that changed the face of warfare in the early modern period. In around 5 minutes, we’ll examine how the combination of pikes and firearms created powerful new formations, leading to the decline of heavy cavalry and reshaping military strategy. Join us for a concise and engaging look at how these tactics transformed European battlefields.
