    This outdated website from 2009 provides information on infantry combat tactics throughout history in 8 sections. The introduction discusses how the Swiss infantry effectively used disciplined square formations in the 15th century to defeat Burgundian cavalry. It then explains how the Spanish improved upon this tactic in the 16th century by adding harquebusiers and developing the Tercio formation, where pikemen and gunmen cooperated within the same tactical unit. The pikes allowed the Tercio to withstand cavalry charges while the guns diminished the enemy's ability to resist.
