Iberian Elite Infantry
Class: heavy · Category: infantry · Men per unit: 40
Description
The Gallaeci have long been recognised by neighbouring tribes as dominant. Their political alliance with the powerful Averni tribe, coupled with their proud warriors makes them a force to be reckoned with. However, alliances and hubris mean little to an invading army. In order to defend the home front, the Gallaeci employ their elite infantry.
