It's been a long time since there has been a bayonet charge in any of my campaigns but there was an excellent instance of bayonet fighting in my awesome Gunmaster T2K one-off years ago. I had 10 players for this one 24 hour session and the PCs made up a French Foreign Legion long range foot patrol on the Iran-Iraq border. They ended up being chased by Hind-mobile Spetznaz and were wiped out to the last man in a heroic last stand at a rocky outcrop in a valley full of scrub. Really good game.

I was going to add spears, actualy pikes....but I was meaning for up close and personal hand to hand combat inside trenches., a spear is a bit long for use inside a narrow trench. I was also thinking of something to supliment a firearm or other primary weapon.
