Visigothic Kingdom (The Last Roman) Missile Infantry

Germanic Hurlers

The young people of the Germanic tribes grew up throwing the stones found on the river beds of northern Europe, giving them a natural advantage when applying the skill to combat. Rocks and stones were in ready supply so, whilst spears may have needed repair after a battle, slingers were always well provisioned. Poor people of low status, both in society and subsequently in battle, they would typically take up position behind veteran warriors, protecting them from enemy attacks. In return, the veterans would use their shields to safeguard those behind them as they unleashed their rain of missiles. Slingshot could be an effective weapon against close enemy formations or cavalry.
