Heishan Shock Cavalry

Qiang Marauders

Many fear the nomadic tribespeople of the north, and with good reason; their experience of horses makes them excellent cavalry troops, and their history of raiding speaks to the swift brutality of their attacks.

They are best used in offensive actions against exposed enemy flanks.

Though only armoured with light leather, their qiang spears pierce all but the strongest armour. The force of their charge is mirrored in their endurance; steeled by a nomadic existence, these horsemen are relentless.

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.
