Venedians Melee Infantry

Slavic Ambushers

Due to its sound logical reasoning, the ambush remains one of the most ancient and enduring military tactics. Essentially, a surprised enemy, and one who is hopefully surrounded at the time, can be defeated more swiftly and easily. Learned on the hunt, the skills needed to successfully ambush were first tested by early man against the beasts he hunted for food. Some of the most famous ambushes of history demonstrate the form's devastating potential, such as Hannibal's surprise attack on Roman forces at the River Trebia in 218BC and Arminius' resounding victory at the Teutoburg Forest, where his men descended from the forests to cut a Roman Legion to pieces. For the wise military commander, any forest or mountain pass presented an opportunity to lay an ambush or, if not scouted and traversed with sufficient care, to be ambushed.
