It kinda seems like this class is an amalgamation of two very different types of troops, and as such lose a lot of the effectiveness of both because of the compromises needed to merge them and to balance them against the other classes. Skirmishers and pikemen/halberdiers serve very different roles in combat. One is supposed to be involved in the middle of the melee within a formation, while the other has more autonomy and is meant to harass the enemy by the periphery with javelins, slings, and other armor defeating weapons (which could use an accuracy boost, if people can train themselves to aim a bow with precision, I think the same can be applied to people who has trained themselves to throw javelins, axes might be another matter).

What I think is lost here is the agility that skirmishers tend to have, and the supposed heavily armored halberdier not having much in the way of armor unless he or she goes down the infantry line. In fact, I feel as if the halberds would be more at home on the infantry line rather than the skirmisher. It's often the people who have the heaviest armor that can operate these best. That being said, it might work out better if polearms get their own class rather than attaching to another one.
