Re: weren't javelines more affective
Basic skirmishers have less training than slingers and archers, both of which need a lot of experience to be effective in battle.BUT archers and slingers are much more effective when flanking than skirmishers, because skirmishers have fewer javelins and shorter range. Why did armies have skirmishers to soften the enemy before a charge, if the javelins generally had no effect on the enemy?
