Roundshiers (Austria)
In Austrian army, a few detachments of infantry armed with cold steel still remained. The mission of those brave soldiers was to wait for a break in musketeers' shots and assault an enemy to breach his pikemen's file or chop his musketeers. In XVI-XVII centuries, musketeers were not too effective and depended much on the weather. A Roundshier was armed with a sword and equipped with plate mail armor and a Rundschild - a small round shield. In a battle formation, Roundshiers occupied the front lines. Later on, as firearms were developed, this echo of medieval infantry has vanished completely.
