Roundhead Pikemen VS Flesheating Zombies- who wins?

Question

Fantasy Faceoff II, Round 5- a detachment of Roundhead pikemen meet a horde of flesheating zombies in pitched battle- who wins, and why?

Answer 1

The pikemen are normal humans with no special abilities. They are carrying nine to twelve foot long pikes, which are basically spears, with small blades or hooks at the base of the speartip. A pike has an effective kill zone of six feet from the pikeman out to about twelve feet for the nine-footers. An enemy getting inside the six foot range effectively neutralizes the weapon. Roundheads may have firearms, but certainly carry daggers and possibly rapiers. The main problem with the firearms of that era is that they are very slow to reload, and this cannot be done except in a position of relative calm, and certainly not while running from zombies. Their pikes are mainly thrust weapons, designed to penetrate the softer parts of a humans anatomy, not to pierce the skull, and their rapiers are also mainly penetrative, designed to slide between an opponents ribs to pierce the heart or to cause lightning quick laceration wounds that open up arteries and veins. Neither weapon is designed to cause massive trauma, sever limbs, or to be able to decapitate, and as we all know, unless you shoot a zombie in the brain, the only way to stop one is to cut off its head or totally dismember it.
The Roundheads also come from an era where people believed in the supernatural, but did not actually see it. Actually seeing a zombie horde would probably cause the cowardly among them to flee the battle, and when they ran one thru with a pike and it continued to attack - that would be a mind-blowing horror comparable to being in a Cthulhu story. I guess that as they realized that the zombies were eating the dead and that their attacks were no good - all penetrative weapons - the terrified Roundhead force would start to rout, and would all flee in hysterical screaming horror when the first dead Roundhead reanimated. The zombies would track down the survivors and annihilate them.
Winner : Zombies
Advantage: Because the Roundheads have absolutely no experience fighting supernatural foes that don't die, and they're carrying all the wrong weapons.

Answer 2

The Zombies.

Everytime one of the Pikemen falls the Zombies add another warrior to their side.

Answer 3

Rob Zombie would play Superbeast really loud, thus streangthening the zombies powers, and weakining the pikemen, and then Rob Zombie would eat them.

Answer 4

Flesheating Zombies because they can keep going after losing limps and such. You cant beat being undead.

Answer 5

You have my answer.
