May have something to do with the notion that Gondor had the highest qualified and specialized military of the peoples of men at the time. That would plea for having specializes polearms for some infantry units. Interesting... I've never really thought about guisarmes bieng used by Gondor's military, although now that I think about it, it would make sense. I totally agree about halberds as well, but realistically we'd have to choose one. In your opninion, which do you think is most suitable for Gondor, a Pike, a Guisarme, or a Halberd? In terms of the stylistic approach, Pikes would be nice, but context-wise, a Halberd or Guisarme would also make sense. Well, I hear that gondor has a fief that has mostly axemen. So maybe halberds would be a better approach? Yes, that would be Lossarnach. In addition to battleaxes, this fiefdom/subfaction/thing could have something similar to the Angmar poleaxe, while "standard" Gondor soldiers and Tower Guards would make use of pikes. This would add to the variety for which Gondor is known, and also allow the "best of both worlds", so to speak.
