Javelinmen - Usage and Deployment

[jadast]

I have grow to appreciate the javelin in defensive battles especially in the mountains. A few volleys while the enemy is slowly working uphill is worth bringing them. They are also fast enough to get off the field so you can bring up a decent replacement unit quickly.

Yeah I pack javelins as a standard, especially if I'm Hungary, coz Jobbagy are really good value.

My standard hill defence is a half-hex of spears or polearms, with javelins behind them on Engage-at-will, and my archers behind the javs.
