The Northern Provinces Missile Infantry

Crane Gunners

Firearms are primarily constructed in Nan-Gau by edict of the Dragon Emperor. The foundries of the City of Smoke turn out large numbers of these weapons, in all shapes and sizes. One of the most common variants is the Crane Gun, a long-barrelled firearm often carried by two Nan-Gau soldiers and fixed to a tower shield for greater accuracy. Used in large numbers, these guns can scythe down enemy formations at great distances, or pick off enemy leaders and monsters with precise volleys of fire.

Attributes

  This unit counts as a Yin unit for the purpose of Battle Harmony proximity.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Harmony: Yin
  This unit counts as a Yin unit and gains increased reload skill and leadership near Yang units.
• Shielded
  Shields have a chance of blocking arrows, bolts, rifle shots and similar small arms fire - but only in a forward facing arc.
• Armour-Piercing Missiles
  The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
