I'm only of the few in BM who has actually always liked mixed infantry. I always felt like they should be effective monster/undead killers if deployed correctly.
An addition: I remember back in Caerwyn, someone hired some Mixed infantry (75/65 they were, I think), and those performed quite admirably. Apparently they had been buffed recently before that. The major problem with them has always been the fact that they would suicide charge at the most inconvenient times. Tends to be irritating.
Thankfully that has been fixed recently, as you know
It's really cool to see how far you guys have come! 
Heh, the realm just hit the six month mark! It's been fairly slow, but as you can see, things are moving along. And I haven't even been there for the whole time! I've just been there for the better bits (imo).
Now we could just use an extra noble or three...
