Spearmen

Local Special Ability

While in combat with Cavalry, this unit gains 1 defense die.

Notes from Drake the Lesser

• If a unit has two ready Spearmen icons, it gets 2 extra defense dice against cavalry units.
• There is a misprint on the hint card for the Honor Division unit. The Spearmen hint shows the icon for Xenophobic. The base card itself, however, has the correct icon.
• The ability description does not specify the type of combat, so it increases defense against ranged combat attacks from mounted archers. Apparently, the spears scare the horses even at a distance.
