I've been reading about the history of Plymouth Plantation. During King Phillip's War the puritans were armed as their brethren in England were - breastplates, muskets and 14' pikes. After a couple of disastrous months of trying to chase the Indians into the swamps they figured out that a flintlock and sword is much better.
