Other units currently available

Supply Carts – Can travel at 25km/day carrying 10 points of supply per wagon train.  To purchase the carts for such a train costs 3 points and it costs 1 point to use each trip. The owning player must state where the wagons are stationed at any time.  Once a train has moved off, that supply is not cut off by the loss of a route to base.

Ship Supply – Ships can be hired to take supply from any point where the river is light blue around the coast and to another similar point.  A supply convoy can carry 20 points of supply and costs 5 points to hire.

Spy – Costs 0 to hire and 1/turn to pay in resources. A spy can either be attached to a location or an enemy unit and will then stay following that unit and informing on it and other units with it.  You can change a spy’s orders by sending a messenger to that spy in any turn.

Gun limber team – A gunnery limber team of 2-4 heavy horses plus gun hauling equipment costs 1 to purchase. If placed with a cavalry unit, it will be resourced by that so costs 0/turn to maintain but if no cavalry are present then it costs 1/turn.

Gunnery Crew/Team – A gun team of men capable of loading and firing a large gun plus powder, shot and other equipment costs 1 to recruit and 1/turn to maintain. Without a competent crew, a gun cannot be used.

Pike Unit – A pike unit with no musket (possibly with mixed pike & halberd) can be recruited for a cost of 2 and 1/resource point per turn thereafter.  If it is a professional mercenary unit it will cost double.
