Wei Melee Cavalry

Tiger Cubs

For every soldier who is selected to ride in the elite Tiger & Leopard cavalry, there are those who are not quite ready for such a responsibility. Fine warriors in their own right, these riders form the bulk of the Tiger Cubs.

Their name is perhaps overly mollifying, as they fight with a ferocity and a power greater than most other cavalries in the land. For when the Tiger Cubs roar, it is only the enemy who mewls in fear.

Unit Abilities

• Miasma
  The dense and tough undergrowth that plagues the jungles of the South is a hindrance to all those who try to penetrate into the heartlands of the Nanman.
• Diamond
  The unit forms into a hard-edged diamond, good for both offence and defence but limiting manoeuvrability.
• Loose
  The unit spreads apart, making it more difficult for arrows to hit them.
• Wedge
  The unit forms into a spear-tip, best for driving directly through enemy lines.

Attributes

• DISCIPLINED
  Does not suffer a morale penalty when the general dies. It can also rally after routing more often.
• 
  
  This unit can deploy outside the deployment zone.
  
• HIDE IN FOREST
  Can hide in forests.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Role: anti-missile
  A shielded and fast-moving unit that absorbs missile fire to charge into vulnerable missile units.
• Mobility
  Melee cavalry use their speed to outmanoeuvre their enemies, striking at exposed flanks and vulnerable units.
• Good morale
  This unit will keep fighting even when others have already routed.
