Crossbowmen

On the battlefield, the crossbow is surpassed by the lightning-quick elven bows, but in the hand of a Crossbowman, it is nonetheless a deadly weapon. Rising from the ranks of the scouts, they shoot not only faster than their comrades but with uncanny accuracy. They are rare, and their training costly, hence most warlords ensure they are equipped with chain armour, thereby providing them with the best possible protection and the longest possible use of their skill. Usually, crossbowmen take position behind the ranks or on the walls of strongholds, from whence they can rain a deadly hail of bolts onto their foes.
