Id like to make a case for why the Long War Axe should stay for Commandos, if not as well as with the Pikemen. I am quite familiar with how the weapon is used, and I must say it is not for its polearm option. I get that it's a polearm and therefore it goes to Pikemen, but the most effective use is in its 2-handed option. Not only is the lower grip make better use of its length, but the thrust option for it is practically pointless. And as the Pikemen as of now only have 80 for 2-Handed, that better grip for the weapon is wasted. It was always designed as a swing weapon, and the best swing option is the 2-Handed grip. I like the weapon, as its almost all I used when I played single-player, so I am biased, but it still makes sense to be used by Commandos in the 2-handed grip. And as far as I know, you use the 2-Handed proficiency when using the 2-Handed option, and the Polearm proficiency when in the Polearm option.
