Alessio Cavatore uses the Galloper Guns’ mobility to create firing angles that a conventional cannon cannot easily reach. Marching into an enfilading position, threatening chariots or heavy cavalry and escaping a dangerous approach all make the small gun more than a static artillery substitute. Bronzino also offers a separate means of interfering with attackers, while the unit can supply either missing ranged power or unusual mobility according to the army hiring it.

The Manflayers combine scouting, skirmishing and repeated crossbow fire with the ability to strike hard in combat. Their suggested work includes harrying exposed leaders and war machines and manoeuvring onto a flank rather than simply exchanging shots with the opposing line. The article also draws attention to their unusual pursuit behaviour and the protection provided by their banner, since those details determine where the unit can safely commit itself.
