Giant Wolves
These apex predators of the forest are driven by indiscriminate bloodlust, relentlessly hunting down anyone or anything chosen as prey.The Forest Wolves of the Old World have oft been the subject of mythology and folklore, foreboding beasts of the wild that those who get lost in the woods pray they never encounter. The common wolf was once widely distributed across the world, but hunting and culling left only the toughest and most vicious of the species still roaming in the wilds. Once set upon by a pack of wolves, it is unlikely one will outrun them – their long legs, large feet, and deep but narrow chests make up an animal built for stamina and travel. Combined with its keen senses, large canine teeth and powerful jaws, it truly is one of the most feared natural predators of the forest.

This unit can run circles around most other units, taunting and harassing the enemy or evading its missile fire. - Weak Against Armour
This unit's attack can hardly punch through armour and is thus wasted on heavily armoured enemies. - Vanguard Deployment
This unit can deploy in an expanded deployment area, allowing it to start the battle within striking distance of the enemy - or somewhere unexpected.
