Rjurik Infantry Heroes of Battle
Main Page » Rjurik Highlands » Rjurik Infantry (Heroes of Battle)
The infantry are men who have devoted themselves to war. They seek to stay with the army and serve. When mustered out, they return to their villages, but always respond to the call for musters. Such men are few, for most do not enjoy the life of a soldier and others serve nobles as karlar.
Such infantry are spearmen, wielding the weapon of the common man, rather than the axe of the karl or the sword of the noble. Rjurik infantry tactics eschew the open formation of light infantry for the close order style of pikemen, but instead of essentially pushing forward a wall of pole arms, as the pikes do, the Rjurik infantry form a shield wall then strike aggressively with short spears making them effective against both pikes and irregular infantry. Light armed troops are especially vulnerable because the Rjurik infantry is well armored, fights behind a shield wall, and surges forward in aggressive strikes, breaking up light forces before they can do any harm.

[top]Special
The normal movement of Rjurik infantry is 20 feet, or 2 squares, but in order to maintain the battle order that is so essential to close order spear tactics, this unit moves at half speed to maintain unit cohesion. So its effective movement is 1 square unless it is in flight.
Rjurik tactics allows the spearmen of Rjurik Infantry to get a +1 bonus vs pikes and irregulars.
