Short description
Numidian warriors are fast moving infantry trained from infancy in the use of the spear.
Description
The Numidian warband is made up of fast moving foot soldiers who are trained from infancy in the use of the spear for hunting. They are recruited from amongst nomadic peoples who need their weapon skills to survive in harsh conditions.
They are best employed to harry enemies and thin their ranks with volleys of missiles. They should avoid being sucked into hand-to-hand combat, as their knives are more useful in skinning animals than killing men; also, other than a small shield they have no armour.
Historically, Numidian justice was extremely harsh on deserters and cowards: crucifixion was a common punishment.
