    We need to make musket men more powerful than the spearman... much more powerful!
    Why do you think musketeers would necessarily beat spearmen in a one on one fight? Spearmen would only have to withstand one volley before descending upon the musketeers with a superior weapon (assuming that it wasn't raining or at night in which case they would only have to stand one very weak volley at best). The truth is that musketeers were weak and had to run around and hide from everyone else on the battlefield, often running into hollow squares of protective pikemen. Once heavy cavalry had been eliminated for good, and the bayonette had been perfected the musketeer began to completely replace pikemen, not because he was absolutely superior, but because he had both a missle weapon and an (inferior) shock weapon, which was nonetheless capable of standing off cavalry which no longer employed the lance.
    He's got the Midas touch.
    But he touched it too much!
