Nafftuns

I cant speak highly enough of these guys!

Especially against the mongols, IMO, they would have to be one of the most devastating and fun units to use in the game if used correctly.

I won a large battle tonight that was very close. My Turkish forces became split in two, thanks to the Mongols volleying and retreating and so forth and it got to the point where a lot of my men were starting to rout.
I sent in the two units of Nafftun in my stack directly through the middle gap of the fray to the Mongol General, thinking that they would perish before they got to him but it was worth a shot. To my surprise they got to him with no real big losses and unleashed hell! The General was killed along with 20 out of 25 of his bodyguard, and it turned the tide of the battle. Instantly causing the morale of the enemy to faulter. The enemy routed and I got a 'heroic victory' (yes I know its a broad term).

The best strategy I've found is to take skirmish off and have them sitting close behind your front line of troops and once the enemy has come at you, they are already throwing their firey balls of death at the enemy.

I'm interested to know how other people rate them. or

Burn baby burn!
