The Western Provinces Missile Infantry

Iron Hail Gunners

The Iron Hail Gun is a heavy blunderbuss with a large bore for close in work. Though short ranged, it is ideally suited to defence, either in the close confines of a city or from the battlements of the Great Bastion. Cathayan commanders often deploy their Iron Hail Gunners on the flanks of their formations where they can discourage even heavily-armoured horsemen, the concentrated shot from their Iron Hail Guns able to punch through shields and plate at close range.

Attributes

• Hide (forest)
  This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.
• Yin
  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.
• 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.
