IMO, all of the pole arms with fancy French names, with designs copied from other pole arms, deserve to lose. Damn frogs think that adding a fleur-de-lis to the back of a glaive makes it special. No, it's just deformed, like an inbred goldfish.

Bardiche = Pole Axe
Fauchard = mutant Glaive
Guisarme = mutant Bill Hook
Ranseur = Partisan = Pike with wings
Voulge = so many different shapes over the years, all copies of other pole arms.

Even that is too many categories if you ask me. There should really only be three:
Stabby
Smashy
Hooky

Most smashy and hooky polearms were also stabby, and a few were all three. But it’s all just different combinations of those three features.

i think the categories should be the following combos where the key is outlined first:

stabby a
smashy b
hooky c
slashy d
choppy e

I’m not convinced that “choppy” polearms were actually used for chopping. Rather, I’d lump them in with either hooky or slashy (or both). But this isn’t really the place for such a discussion. In the interest in participating with the actual topic of the thread:
