Prince of Chu Shock Cavalry

Mounted Lancer Militia

The best armour is reserved for skilled warriors, but these conscripts have proven to be competent enough to warrant partial leather armour and ji polearms.

Their role is not to engage in the kind of extended close combat that would require heavier armour, but rather remain light and use the speed of their mounts to shock enemy lines with swift cavalry charges and chase down routers.

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.
• Loose
  The unit spreads apart, making it more difficult for arrows to hit them.

Attributes

• HIDE IN FOREST
  Can hide in forests.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Role: flanking
  Fast, agile and devastating - flanking units can turn the tide of battle with a well-timed charge or by routing enemy missile units.
• Cannot adopt advanced formations
  These soldiers are not disciplined enough to adopt advanced formations.
