The first rank of Pirazzo’s unit is always made up of crossbow-armed figures, and all Crossbowmen must be placed in the first rank. The second and following ranks are made up entirely of Pikemen. During the game, remove casualties from the back as normal, it is assumed that pike-armed models step forward and discard their pikes to pick up the crossbows of the fallen first rankers. Only when all the Pikemen have been killed, can casualties can be taken from the Crossbowmen in the first rank.
