Class: missile · Category: infantry · Men per unit: 40
The people of Western Asia are diverse, numerous, and fierce, and have a long tradition in warfare. These skirmishers rush forward to pepper an enemy with javelins, and then withdraw in good order before a counterattack can be organised. They are skirmishers and not intended to hold a position in a battle line. Instead, their job is to harass and disrupt enemy units as well as screen the main force of the army. They are also adept - as their abilities would suggest - at staging tactical ambushes.
