Aksum Missile Infantry

Adana Trackers

Hunting animals for their meat and skins has been happening almost as long as humans have existed, so as time wore on it was only natural that the skills learned – the combination of stealth and the element of surprise – would find an application on the battlefield. This was especially true in the forests of barbarian Europe and the plains of the desert kingdoms of Africa and Arabia, where limited agricultural yield meant that hunting skills were essential for survival. Over time, wily generals realised that hunters could be put to good use in the field, especially for scouting, tracking enemy positions and laying ambushes. When fighting on home territory, those who knew the terrain well would be able to surprise the enemy, deal a disconcerting and potentially disastrous blow, and then disappear - only to re-appear in an similarly unexpected place, at equally opportune moment.
