About
Unit Description
Rejoice! For a Knight of Bretonnia provides your shield…
Historical Description
The life of a Bretonnian peasant is thankless, impoverished and - if the gods are merciful - short. Yet it is their duty to labour for, pay tribute to, and die in service of their Liege. Yet although a life spent toiling the land for pitiful gain is a damnable existence, it pales next to a day upon the battlefield. And indeed, should a duke ride to war, he will surely drag his droves of human chattel along with him. These hapless wanderers are then assuredly butchered in their multitudes as fodder to their Lord's worthy cause. To make their numbers count, peasants are ordered into huddled units on the battlefield, which makes up for their lack of training and skill. Like Men-At-Arms, Peasant Mobs are not very reliable if left to their own devices, but under the stern gaze of a Knight can aspire to adequate, though not exceptional, deeds.
Attributes
Expendable
Witnessing friendly expendable units rout does not reduce other units' 
leadership, unless they are themselves expendable.
Hide (forest)
This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Expendable
Witnessing friendly expendable units rout does not reduce other units' 
Leadership, unless they are themselves expendable.
Meat Shield
While unimpressive at causing damage, this unit is useful as a 'meat shield', absorbing damage that would otherwise hurt a more useful or precious target.
Poor Leadership
This unit suffers from poor leadership and will easily rout. Keep its flanks secure and your 
Lord or other encouraging units nearby.
