{{:Hand-to-Hand Attack (5 fatigue)}}
|}

== Behavior ==
Polearm Conscripts often spend a whole turn to take a position two tiles away from the enemy, preventing allies from attacking from there. Those armed with [[Swordlance|Swordlances]] can hit an ally when attacking two enemies.

The color of their [[Linothorax|Linothoraxes]] and style of [[Southern Head Wrap|Head Wraps]] depends on the banner of their city state.

==Tips==

* Priority targets because of their threat, but less than [[Gunner|Gunners]].
* [[Swordlance|Swordlances]] will do more damage if your formation is tight.
* Reach weapons, [[Split (30 fatigue)|Split]] skill, [[Handgonne|Handgonnes]] or ranged attacks with [[Bullseye]] can take them out early.
* They can use [[Rotation (Skill)|Rotation]] to escape melee.
* [[Polemace]] Conscripts can be controlled with [[Taunt (Skill)|Taunt]] and [[Battle Whip|Disarm]]. [[Swordlance]] ones can use [[Reap (30 fatigue)|Reap]] if taunted, and [[Quick Hands]] with [[Polearm Mastery]] allows them to still attack if disarmed.
* [[Nimble]] makes them quite tough.
* [[Cleavers]] require [[Duelist]] or being two-handed to work. [[Rusty Warblade]] showed the best result.
* [[Greataxe|Greataxes']] [[Split Man (15 fatigue)|Split Man]] kills them in two hits. Other two-handed weapons need to hit the same body part, but may be more optimal with area attacks.
* [[Flails]] bypass shields, can target the head and Conscripts don't have [[Steel Brow]], but the [[Lash (25 fatigue)|special attack]] is fatiguing to use.
* One-handed [[Hammers|hammers']] damage minimum of 10 isn't affected by [[Nimble]], and they destroy armor quickly, allowing other weapons to deal full damage.
* Being [[Nimble]], they are more vulnerable to [[Fearsome]], and have no rallying units. However they will often resist due to their high resolve.
* When fighting on your side, they can [[Rotation (Skill)|rotate]] you into dangerous positions and even hit you with [[Swordlance|Swordlances]].
