Calvary can use sledgehammer from quest reward (if removed, pre-patch quest reward). Is this intended? Calvary can break through block at high speed. With the right timing, most AI enemies fall prey to this tactic with ease. Of course, I gotten unlucky a few times trying this trick out but that because I was careless.
Nord troopers (axemen with shield) and those Nord spike club men suffer the most from this crush block trick. The crush block damage output it lowered by the shield but it still stun them for a second upon a successful hit.
Nord huscarls have the same problem as Nord troopers but the chances of dying from a silly mistake are higher since their health is higher and they swing faster.
Even the earlier waves involving the Nord long axemen can be crush to death from such a short weapon since their AI doesn't know how to deal with the sledgehammer from horseback properly.
I concluded crush block is easier than horse bumping with cavalry sword weapon.
