Grudgebringer Army [page 2 of 6]

You're the leader of the Grudgebringer mercenaries, Grudgebringer being the name of your sword. As such, you'll need to know who exactly is in your army and what their strengths and weakness are if you hope to win any battles. A quick look at the men - and their weapons - under your command and care:

Grudgebringer is your mighty sword and the Grudgebringer Calvary, funnily enough, are the guys who fight with you (as opposed to against you). You, by the way, are a mercenary and these guys are the heart of your mercenary army. They're particularly good at combat, and as you might guess from their name, they ride into battle on warhorses.

Grudgebringer Infantry
Gunther Schepke, your second in command, is in charge of the infantry. They're on foot and excel at hand-to-hand combat; in the end it's the infantry who gets down and dirty up close to the enemy. These guys, as members of the Grudgebringer army, are fierce, loyal, and, of course, for hire.

Grudgebringer Crossbows
Deadly with a bow and arrow, these troops are as loyal to their commander as the infantry is to its. They do have to have a clear line of sight to be able to properly shoot the enemy however. These are the guys you should keep back a bit - their weapons have terrific range and they're not very good at hand-to-hand combat.

Grudgebringer Cannon
Fire it at close range and you'll be mighty impressed; it unfortunately loses accuracy when it's a bit farther away. But that doesn't mean that it can't still pack a wallop when it crashes into buildings. Armor, by the way, is completely useless against the cannon. It has tremendous range - equalled only by the Orc Rock Lobber.
