Cover of Elf Warfare

Elf Warfare

Although few in number, elves produce the most skillful and deadly warriors of all the races. Renowned for their archery and agility, they are mostly associated with hit-and-run tactics; however, they should not be underestimated in open battle. This book compiles all of the information known about these elegant warriors and how they practice war. From an initial examination of the fighting methods of the individual Elf warrior, it goes on to reveal how they do battle in small companies and vast armies. It covers all of their troop types—from their famed bowmen and swordmasters to their lightning-fast cavalry—making special note of regional variations and highly specialized fighters such as war mages.
