Poor Cossack Pikemen (veterans) are veteran militia infantry of the Cossack Hetmanate.

Tactics

Pikemen armed with a lance, they are cheap but inefficient troops that should not be heavily relied on. As with other pikemen, they are best used when protecting archers against enemy cavalry - getting killed by a single bullet and/or easily dying in melee makes it ill-advised for veteran Poor Cossack Pikemen to charge head in.
