Eastern Wu Melee Infantry

Bandit Warriors

Banditry is not known for its elegance or even its order; it is a patchwork affair that makes use of whatever is at hand. So, too, are bandit warriors a pragmatic sort, fighting with whatever comes to hand.

These fighters, sometimes little more than a rabble, have been known to charge into battles with two axes in hand, or two maces, or a mace and an axe, or even a ji! When it comes to weapons, they do not discriminate.
