Proving Grounds

A warrior needs a weapon he can rely on.

Due to the tribal practice of making votive offerings to gods of rivers and waterways, many bronze artefacts have been discovered at the bottom of lakes and rivers all over Europe. The River Thames in London, England must have held particular significance to the local tribes as a number of bronze work pieces have been discovered on the bottom over the years. The Waterloo Helmet, a ceremonial piece with two horns, was discovered in 1868, and the Wandsworth and Battersea shields were also recovered from the river and now reside in the British Museum. Like the helmet, the Battersea Shield is thought to be a ceremonial piece as there is no evidence of damage and no sign that it was ever attached to a wooden base, which would have given it the strength it required to be battle ready.

1	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (cel_boii_archers) Sotaroas (Boii Archers) A rough life in the Alpine forest gives these archers sufficient skills to be lethal against any foe, and they are naturally born ambushers. Still, they should not be used alone, as they can barely sustain any close combat, being unskilled, unprotected, and equipped with simple, utilitarian daggers.
1	175	175	403	403				8	155	4	15	21	11	6	25	1	20	35
2	200	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (cel_boii_axemen) Kotougatragakoi (Boii Axemen) The axe is a common weapon, being affordable, more easily produced than the sword, and requiring less training and skills to use. The Celts use them often, and the Boii are no exception. They use many axemen, more perhaps than Gallic peoples, due to their link with the Germans and Alpine tribes that use it as their main weapon.

3	200	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (cel_boii_early_warriors) Cingetoi (Early Boii Warriors) Cingetos means the marching ones." It is the common name for professional, skilled Celtic warriors. Typical of the La Tene period, these Celtic warriors are the best of the regular troops; They are highly skilled veterans, given the best equipment. They use heavy spears and a long sword, but wear no armour except perhaps a bronze disc and a high, pointed helmet."

4	200	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (cel_boii_heroic_swordsmen) Cavaroi (Boii Heroic Swordsmen) These exceptionally well-built and well-equipped men are not nobles, but are selected for their skills and awesome bravery in battle. Cavaros" is the Gallic word for "hero" as well. They are given the largest and highest quality swords available, specifically the broad and long-handled swords of the Boians, but also a carry a shield, and a tall and recognisable Montefortino helmet."

5	200	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (cel_boii_late_warriors) Newjo Cingetoi (Late Boii Warriors) This late evolution of the Cingetos is more heavily armoured and professional: chainmail is now more usual, and their helmet is an evolution of previous models like the light Coolus, which is reinforced and heavier, as well as the Port and Agen variants. Cingetoi are now front line infantrymen, using a longsword as their main weapon.

6	300	Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (cel_boii_light_spearmen) Acubagaudoi (Boii Light Spearmen) These troops are the most affordable and commonly found warriors recruited from the warrior class: They wield a spear and several javelins, with mostly fire-shaped points. They wear no armour but perhaps light leather, and a leather cap; their medium-quality wood scutum is their primary protection.
6	300	300	540	540								24	9	10	70	4	20	40
7	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (cel_boii_night_warriors) Runocingetoi (Boii Night Warriors) These men are specialized in night attacks, being accustomed to fast raids. They are relatively experienced, and skilled in commando-like" raids by night. They are given various equipment, depending on their own skills and needs: axes and swords for close combat, and bows as missile weapons. Painted in a blue woad melted with cender, they have perfect night camouflage."

8	200	Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (cel_boii_nobles) Arjoi (Boii Noble Warriors) These dismounted nobles are probably more common in Boii armies than in other Celtic armies. The foot nobles are naturally the best equipped and skilled warriors. Their entire life is devoted to training and war exercises, and they have the best weapons available. Their armour is equally high-quality, but the Cisalpine Boii also use specific Etruscan wargear, like greaves and bronze armour.
8	200	200	1271	1271								39	9	15	80	16	20	65
9	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (cel_boii_spear_skirmishers) Gaisoiuncos (Boii Medium Skirmishers) These men are equipped almost exclusively with second-rate, rudimentary wood javelins, and a unique iron-tipped gaesos spear. They act mainly as skirmishers, but are skilled in close-combat as well.
9	175	175	508	508				14	85	8	5	22	9	6	65	1	20	35
10	300	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (cel_boii_swordsmen) Excingetoi (Boii Swordsmen) The Boians are renowned for their swords. They are especially large and broad, with a narrow point, making them useful both for thrusting and slashing. The long handle allows these swords perhaps to be used with two hands. These swordsmen are the bread and butter of any Boian battle line, acting as its main assault infantry alongside the axemen.
