Melee infantry/cavalry will be too concise, which includes pikemen, swordsmen etc. Beaters should fulfill the gap of the melee infantry/cavalry which doesn't use a pike, sword or spear. I may include "lancers" as well, but it will be hard to differentiate between a spear and a lance. A pike is somehow quite different with a spear. A pike is somewhat shorter than a spear.
