All Things Vargr

Vargr: Military Organization

V. Mining type railways would be easier and cheaper to lay down than digging up canals.

W. It really depends on whether Vargr have beasts of burden, and if they manage to selectively breed for power and endurance.

X. If they're stuck with mid sized mounts, they might be stuck with reindeer and dog sleds.

Y. Though, should be able to get cavalry mounts.

Z. Evolving through carts and chariots.

Vargr: Military Organization

1. I don't see early Vargr being very proficient with bows.

2. The problem with crossbows would be, that they still have to be wound up.

3. Which would leave us, or them, with slings, and atlatls.

4. Light armour would match up with the lack of strength powered melee weapons.

5. I tend to think they'd go for a Highland charge.

6. Using terrain to mask their movements, close to use their missile weapons, and then charge the disorganized enemy.

7. And as they go up the tech tree, they have to deal with recoil from firearms.

8. I tend to think that, when fighting with other Vargr, they'll use a lower calibre ammunition, since Vargr hit points and resistance would be lower.

9. And a lower rate of fire weapon with more powerful bullets, when fighting humans.
