Classes: Skirmisher

2021-06-28T20:32:19Z

Alan: added Bayonet handling

The Skirmisher classes are intended to operate away from the lines, and as such do not benefit from any of the buffs one might get from being [[Orders|in the line]] or in proximity to [[Classes:_Support#Auxilliary|auxiliary classes]]. Their effectiveness comes from their speed and deadly accuracy, striking lines with the element of surprise.

{{Class
|enum=LightInfantry
|name=Light Infantry
|description=The light infantry classes move with a greater speed than the rest of the player classes, able to outpace lines to reach tactical positions and cause disruption in the enemy lines before moving on. Their most effective firing position is crouched in cover, making them unattractive individual targets for lines. The cost of their lighter gear is a weakness in melee, resulting in less damage dealt, and more damage received when engaged in close combat.

You can hear birdsong, creaking trees and other expected noises which further immerse you in the scene. Without the crashing of cannons and muskets, this is a peaceful area. You can look forward to bringing a little chaos to the sleepy shadows beneath these trees!

{{ Map
| enum=DesertRuins
| description=Desert ruins will play host to some of the largest brawls seen in Holdfast: Nations at War. The terrain while fairly uniform and open is littered with small elevation differences, palm trees and extensive ruins. This means that it ends up in a combination of chaotic cover and open spaces. If you ever have time to gaze away from the combat around you, the ruins themselves are an impressive sight. Featuring the remains of bath houses, temples, houses, columns, city walls, and an aqueduct this setting will see fierce hand to hand combat within the remains of the ancient urban paradise. Scaling the walls to gain an advantage over approaching enemy infantry comes at the risk of being an easier target for the field guns in the open sands. The quiet rustling of wind on sand will soon give way to the boom of cannon and crash of hot metal. Once again our dynamic day/night cycle comes into play for longer skirmishes, the desert becomes a completely different beast in the cool of night. It has been designed to support the army assault, battlefield and deathmatch game modes.

{{ Map

| description=Aunby Valley makes its way into the game uniquely combining many beloved aspects of other battlefields featured in the game. Inspired by the valleys of South Wales, a large river runs down the middle of this map, only to be held back by a giant dam that will see many a fallen infantryman atop it.

At the base of the dam, two opposing sapper houses can be found and garrisoned to control the main crossing point of the valley. Should the enemy overwhelm you there, plenty of other crossing points leading to caves and ruins can be alternatively utilised as strategic flanking points.

Verticality is an important feature of this battlefield and those who use it to their advantage can expect great victories upon this land. With river crossings, buildings, caves, ruins and a giant dam you can be sure to experience every aspect of Holdfast: Nations At War in all its glory!

Almost every wall and defence that protects this city can succumb to the strike of a solid round shot from a trained artilleryman. Utilising these gaps in the wall will be key to capturing this snow-covered city.
