Iron-Helmet Musketeers

a_iron_helmet_musketeers

Skilled soldiers who wear iron helmets for protection and wield muskets as their primary firearms, these troops have come to dominate the battlefields. They serve as infantry troops in various armies across Africa, under the banner of some of the most powerful rulers. Loading their muskets with black powder and lead balls, aiming and firing at their enemies from a distance, their thunderous volleys have stopped many charges in their tracks, whilst their iron helmets provide vital head protection during battles and skirmishes. These musketeers play a crucial role in the evolution of warfare, introducing firearms as a significant force on the battlefield.
