-unit_description= _ "The best of the soldiers are chosen to become 
Halberdiers. Their weapon, though a little slower than the sword, can strike 
with deadly force, and because of its great length, Halberdiers always strike 
first in combat, even when defending. Halberdiers have great facility at 
dealing with troops they can keep further than the end of their weapons, but 
find some difficulty in very close combat."
+unit_description= _ "A halberd is a difficult and very heavy weapon to use, 
but powerful in the hands of an expert. It is also much more flexible than the 
spear from which it descended. As any halberdier can tell you, the weapon 
possesses 4 primary striking points, 2 more than a spear or pike; these are the 
tip, the blade, the spike at the base of the shaft, and the inner point on the 
blade, which can be used in a motion pulling back towards the wielder. All this 
makes for a very versatile weapon in melee, especially against cavalry.
+
+However, a halberd is notably more expensive to craft than a spear, and in the 
hands of a novice, much less effective. In the armies of Wesnoth, it is 
customary only to grant these weapons to veteran pikemen, who have proven their 
skill to employ them properly on the field of war.
+
+Special Notes: the length of their weapon allows a halberdier to strike first 
in melee, even in defense."

javelins, to harry, if not kill, enemies at range. Some, however, take to them 
rather well, finding that they have a natural talent in their use. Javelineers 
are a valuable asset to an army, being able to supplement their skill in melee 
combat with an ability to handle distant foes. They can hurl javelins into 
enemy ranks from a distance, often without retribution, and still hold their 
ground in melee.

when fighting cavalry, though they find some difficulty in fighting in 
extremely close quarters."

graduated to wielding pikes, and are outfitted with something far superior to 
the motley collection of leather armor they wore as recruits. A pike is a much 
longer weapon than a spear, and thus facilitates different combat tactics. A 
wall of pikemen is the bane of any cavalry charge, and with proper discipline 
and tactics, pikemen can also hold most infantry at bay.
