Description
Goth Spearmen are recruited from amongst the young and low-status members of a tribe. They are given a spear, a shield, and a good lesson in obedience to their betters before being pushed into a battle line. Spearmen are the men that real warriors look down upon from their lofty saddles. This can be rather foolish as a man with a spear can kill even the bravest warrior, or stop him dead in his tracks when his horse (quite sensibly) refuses to charge headlong onto a sharp spear point. These men are worth bringing to a battle, as they can provide a solid anchor for a battle line when fighting cavalry, even if they are vulnerable to attack by missiles or swordsmen.
