King Wutugu Melee Infantry

Axe Throwers

These warriors choose skill and the effective strike from a distance over the comforting but cumbersome weight of heavy armour and weapons.

Their armour is light, backed up with a shield; just enough to let them get into range without fear of being cut down. Each solider carries but a few of their well-crafted throwing axes, but they have the throwing ability to make sure every shot counts.

Unit Abilities

• Miasma
  The dense and tough undergrowth that plagues the jungles of the South is a hindrance to all those who try to penetrate into the heartlands of the Nanman.
• Circle
  The unit forms into a tight circle, presenting a defensive front from any angle.
• Loose
  The unit spreads apart, making it more difficult for arrows to hit them.
• Shield Wall
  The unit presents a wall of shields to the enemy - an offensive formation best used to push forward under arrow fire. However the formation cannot be maintained in melee combat.

• HIDE IN FOREST
  Can hide in forests.
