The Holy Roman Empire Units

Light Infantry

Peasants
Life at the bottom rung of medieval society is not easy or healthy. In times of war peasants are forced from their farms and drafted into levies, and if they are lucky, given some kind of simple weapon to fight with. Unsurprisingly peasants are undisciplined troops who are better at fleeing than they are fighting.

Sergeant Spearmen
Sergeant spearmen are common professional warriors, unable to become knights, who have shown skill in combat and have been better trained and equipped than levied troops. Able to form a defensive circle of spear, and due to their training and light armour, this good medium infantry unit is better able to take and dish out punishment.

Armoured Sergeants
Armoured sergeants are professional warriors who due to their lowly social station are unable to become knights, but hope they maybe noticed in battle and raised above their current status. Able to form a defensive circle of spear, and due to their training and light armour, this reliable medium infantry unit is better able to take and dish out punishment.

Town Militia
Common throughout Europe, Town Militia are commoners and peasants who have been levied into local militias to defend towns, roads and bolster armies. Given some training and equipped with a spear and light armour, these units are useful in support roles for heavier and better units.

Spear Militia

Heavy Infantry

Zweihander
Literally meaning two hander's, in German, in reference to the grip needed to wield their massive swords. Zweihanders are very heavily armoured foot troops who can cut a bloody swathe through nearly all infantry they will encounter. This unit is deployed by the Holy Roman Empire and often forms the vanguard when assaulting enemy battle lines.

Forlorn Hope
The 'Verlorene Haufe' or Forlorn Hope as they are known, are comprised of prisoners and volunteers desperate for glory. Their job is to lead the first and usually fatal charge used to break up enemy pike formations. Forlorn Hope are heavily armoured and wield massive Zweihanders. These units are vicious assault troops who can chop a man into bloody pieces.

Halberd Militia
Halberd Militia are townsfolk who have been levied into militia, a type of home guard, to defend and guard their settlement. Trained and equipped to fight with long halberds, they can fend off cavalry and crush many kinds of enemies depending on what part of the halberd they hit them with. These units can be armoured up to half plate.

Dismounted Feudal Knights
Knights would often dismount and fight on foot when the situation demanded it. Dismounted they make excellent heavy infantry.

Dismounted Imperial Knights
Imperial Knights, as their name implies, are knights of the Holy Roman Empire and are the mainstay of knights loyal to the empire. These mace wielding fighting machines wear plate armour and will sometimes dismount to fight on foot when the situation demands it.

Dismounted Gothic Knights
These distinctive looking knights are the Holy Roman Empire's elite warriors. Encased in splendid gothic plate armour, including the distinctive visored sallet helmet, mace, these knights can take on anyone on the battlefield and will fight dismounted when the situation demands it.

Dismounted Mercenary German Knights
These are Knights from the Holy Roman Empire that have chosen to fight for money. Wearing plate armour, and equipped with maces, these trained and experienced knights are a good choice for taking on heavily armoured units, and make excellent shock troops whether mounted or on foot

Arquebusiers

Spear/Pike Infantry

Spear Militia
Common throughout Europe, Spear Militia are commoners and peasants who have been levied into local militias to defend towns, roads and bolster armies. Given some training and equipped with a spear and light armour, these units are useful in support roles for heavier and better units.


Pike Militia
Pike Militia are peasants who have been levied into a militia, a type of reservists, to bolster up an army or to defend and patrol roads and towns. Local militias can range greatly in training and equipment, while some are little more than unarmoured peasants with weapons, others are well trained, semi professional militias, armed with quality pikes and plate armour.

Landsknecht Pikemen
Landsknechts, meaning 'land servant' in German were formed after the reforms of Maximilian I, the Holy Roman Emperor. The Landsknechts were formed to answer the threat of the Swiss Pikemen, quickly earning themselves a reputation as the best pikemen in Europe. These elite mercenaries are equipped with long pikes and wear their distinctive and elaborate slash and puffed shirts and hose.

Missile Infantry

Peasant Archers
While most peasants in Europe were levied into the army, at sword point if need be, some welcomed the opportunity to earn some pay, and travel. Peasant Archers are accustomed to using their bow for hunting. These peasant archers are armed with a small bow, knife, and if lucky enough, some armour.

Peasant Crossbowmen
Far simpler to train in the use of a crossbow than a bow, many generals arm their peasants with crossbows to provide mass missile fire. Peasant Crossbowmen are equipped with a crossbow and have a simple knife for a sidearm. Lucky peasants are armoured in light mail, most peasants though are not lucky and are unarmoured.

Crossbow Militia
Crossbow militia are inexpensive units formed to protect settlements. Being able to train townsfolk quickly in the use of the crossbow allows these units to be garrisoned frequently and the stopping power of the crossbow can make their withering fire lethal. Poorly armoured, it is just as well crossbow militia are expected to hide behind defensive walls.

Pavise Crossbowmen
While the crossbow is relatively easy to use and quite powerful, it leaves the user quite vulnerable during the slow reload process. Therefore it makes sense to give the crossbowmen a large shield, pavise, to hide behind.

Arquebusiers
Fired at close range and quite accurate, with only a little chance of exploding and killing the person firing it. This forerunner of the musket is capable of firing deadly volleys that can pierce armour. This noisy, smokey and lethal weapon is so intimidating it causes morale damage as well as physical hurt.

Handgunners
Called "hand guns" to distinguish them from cannons, these are the earliest form of personal firearm. Consisting of a rudimentary metal tube mounted on a wooden pole and awkwardly ignited, this basic design left little room for aiming. These weapons caused more panic than actual damage to enemy troops who were shaken by the noise and smoke made when firing. Given their short range, their firers need to be well armoured and able to look after themselves in close combat.

Heavy Cavalry

Mailed Knights
Prominent in Western Europe, encased in mail, carrying a large shield and equipped with lances and swords, these knights are formidable fighting machines, capable of deadly charges and getting 'stuck in' to any melee. Although not as well trained or equipped as the knights that will follow them, they are invaluable heavy cavalry units during the early medieval period.

Feudal Knights
Feudal knights are given land, fiefs, in return for military service. Trained since childhood and protected by heavy mail, and later, plate armour, and trained in using the lance these elite warriors are used to crush and ride down their opponents. Taught to be the epitome of honour and chivalry these knights are known for impulsively charging into enemy ranks!

Imperial Knights
Imperial Knights, as their name implies, are knights of the Holy Roman Empire and are the mainstay of knights loyal to the empire. These mace wielding fighting machines wear plate armour and are equipped with lances ands are capable of deadly charges and effective and bloody melee.

Gothic Knights
These distinctive looking knights are the Holy Roman Empire's elite warriors. Encased in splendid gothic plate armour, including the distinctive visored sallet helmet, riding an armoured warhorse and wielding a lance and mace, Gothic knights have little to fear on the battlefield. Well practiced in heavy cavalry tactics these knights make a fearsome addition to any imperial army.

Imperial Knights

Early General's Bodyguard
These are truly formidable troops whose task it is to guard the army's general. Wearing mail, or early plate armour and wielding lances, these elite troops fear little on the battlefield and make fearsome opponents. Loyal and disciplined this elite heavy cavalry unit accompanies the general wherever he goes on the battlefield.

Late General's Bodyguard
The combination of full plate armour, and later magnificent gothic armour, a fully armoured horse and a lance make these elite warriors mobile killing machines. These warriors are the general's personal guard, fiercely loyal and disciplined there is little this unit cannot take on and not come out on top.

Merchant Cavalry Militia
Well equipped, but poorly trained cavalry men used in most of Europe to protect merchants, provincial towns and main roads. As they poorly trained these units forgo using the lance, which requires specialist training, and fight with a sword. Protected by plate armour these units are very good at riding down archers and infantry.

Teutonic Knights
The Teutonic Knights are a German crusading order of knights committed to fighting infidels and pagans. Ruthless and unrelenting they are the equal of other orders if not quite as disciplined. Wearing white surcoats with a black cross emblazoned on them, encased in heavy mail or plate armour and wielding lances and large maces, these knights love a good melee.

Mounted Sergeants
Used mostly in western Europe, Mounted Sergeants are an early type of professional soldier. Made up of men who are neither Knights or of noble birth, these veteran warriors wear light armour and are armed with a cavalry spear and a sword, as well as a large cavalry shield.

Missile Cavalry

Mounted Crossbowmen
Forced to counter the quick and mobile missile units of the east, European forces have begun to develop lighter and more mobile units such as these Mounted Crossbows. Using smaller crossbows than the infantry, these units use their mobility to stay out of trouble while they reload their crossbows, as their rate of fire is no better than that of the infantry crossbow.

Reiters
Reiters derive their name from the German word reiter, meaning horseman/rider. Generally from German states, Reiters are armed with a cavalry pistol and cavalry spear, and protected by plate armour. Reiters are trained in the use of firearms, sometimes using two pistols, and often employ the shooting circle tactic enabling riders to create a continuous cycle of firing and reloading.

Gothic Knights

Artillery

Ballista
Invented in ancient Greece and resembling nothing more than a giant crossbow, the Ballista is capable of flinging a javelin with lethal force well over 100 meters! Unlike the crossbow the Ballista derives its force from twisted animal sinew and not tension from the frontal arms. No matter where the power comes from this weapon can impale any unit.

Catapult
Constructed of wood and capable of flinging stones large enough to crush a man's head, the catapult was a common site on the ancient Roman battlefield. Now in the medieval era the catapult is being replaced by newer and more powerful weapons.

Trebuchet
The counter-weight Trebuchet is an evolution of the man-powered mangonel and catapults dating back before the 11th century. It has quickly spread throughout the world as an effective siege engine capable of lobbing large wall- crushing boulders. The Trebuchet is also able to fling such things as burning missiles and rotten animal remains to devastate enemy units.

Bombard
The first primitive gunpowder siege artillery, bombards were created in China and Western Europe in the early 14th century and spread to the rest of the world by the late 14th century. Forged from bronze or iron, and designed to fire stone balls to crumble enemy defences. They also shoot inaccurate flaming balls wrapped in pitch-soaked rags that can incinerate enemy troops!

Grand Bombard
The Grand bombard was created as an improvement to the bombard in the early 15th century. Made to be harder hitting and with longer range than its predecessor, this iron-forged piece of siege artillery is able to inflict punishing damage on enemy defences. Like its predecessor, it too can deliver flaming chastisement to enemy troops.

Cannon
The archetypical Cannon was used all across the world by the mid to late 15th century. Mounted on a large wheeled chassis and featuring a longer improved barrel, the cannon was far superior to the bombards that preceded it. Able to demolish enemy walls from a greater range and able to fire troop-killing explosive shells, the cannon is rightly feared.

Serpentine
The Ribault also known as the organ gun due to its many pipes is a fearsome spectacle on the battlefield. Armed with six short ranged barrels, it is often used in the defence of other longer ranged artillery. Able to fire all six barrels at once, it makes the enemy think twice before engaging!

Basilisk
This fearsome artillery piece is the pinnacle of late 15th century European siege-gun engineering. With a greater range, damage and accuracy than all the siege guns that come before it, no enemy emplacements can stand up to the fearsome bombardment it can give. No enemy troops can withstand its explosive shots and generals should fear the gaze of the Basilisk!
