Unit Description
Woodsmen are available only to the Northumbrians. They are essentially peasants, with low morale and a weak attack, but they have a good charge and their axes are armour piercing. They can be used to ambush enemy units, or as flankers. They will not last long, but their initial charge will cause plenty of damage. Their low cost makes them disposable, and they can be thrown away against heavy infantry like Huscarles cost effectively.
