Empire of Man: State Missile Troops

Ranged support comes in two flavours for the Empire: State Missile Troops and Archers. The former is a box of 30 drilled professional soldiers who can be armed with crossbows or handguns, for extra range or armour penetration. There are enough parts in the box to build three full command groups, and the Sergeants can be equipped with Hochland Longrifles and powder monkeys. Archers are scouts and skirmishers – 20 skilled bowmen who can move up the field and pepper the advancing foe, redeploying with a nimbleness the State Troops lack. The Archers have enough parts to build two unit champions, while the State Troops also receive a 290-piece transfer sheet.
