Huns Military Tier 9
Combat at Distance
If you can look a man in the eye, you're close enough to kill him.The Huns were renowned for their deadly mounted archers. These vicious horsemen carried the composite reflex bow favoured by many steppe tribes. Being shorter than other bows it was ideal for use from horseback, its construction giving the user longer range and greater penetrative power. Roman sources report that the Huns were able to decimate their Gothic opponents whilst staying firmly out of range of the Goths' precision javelin attack. Archery played an important role in Hunnic society, where elaborate, gilded bows were a sign of princely rank. A number have been discovered buried alongside swords and dagger grips marked with totemic icons to protect their bearer.
