| Core Units are the most
common warriors in the army. There is a minimum number of Core Units that must be
fielded, and this varies with the size of the army (see "Armies of the
Han Empire"). There
is no maximum limit on the number of Core Units that can be fielded.
On this page are listed the basic Warriors of the Han Empire. The
Warriors of the Han Empire train from childhood in the martial skills of sword, spear, and javelin. |

pointed hook that can pierce armour and drag mounted troops from the
saddle. |

die roll made immediately after any successful to hit die roll made by
the user of the billhook), the opponent is dismounted. A die roll of 6
is always successful, even if the opponent has a higher Initiative.
