(Scandinavian Spearmen and Scandinavian Skirmishers. They're AOR units from Cimrbi home town.)

Mostly for convenience. Two reasons:

1. It would be consistent with the other Scandinavian AOR units who also have guerilla deployment, even the cav has it.
2. If you have access to these guys, chances are high you are playing a Germanic faction where ALL your units have guerilla deployment, which makes using these units (especially the spears) akward and not worth bringing as they compete directly with your roster options.

Many British/Celtic/Germanic factions have them. I don't mean the ones with 2-handed lances, though.
Rough definition:
-200 Men
-Short lance and big shield
-Shieldwall abilty
-E. g. Averni roster: Early Gallic Shieldwall Spearmen

Is this type of unit any good? I have only used swords or "regular" spear lines as mainline infantry so far so I wouldn't know. Anyone got experience with them?
