Velites	missile infantry	40 Men
Expert at Hiding in Forests Can Hide in Long Grass Sapping Ability Velites are light skirmishing troops who screen the main battle line of an early-pattern Legion as it advances. They are armed with javelins and a stabbing sword, and carry a small round shield but no other protection. It is their task to harass the enemy before the main combat begins. Velites are recruited from younger citizens, who lack the experience (or the money for their own gear) to fight as hastati or other heavy infantry. Roman velites become outdated after the Marius Reforms. Historically, Marius put the Roman army on a professional footing, and abandoned all property and age requirements in the process. Roman citizens would no longer go to war as-and-when as a civic duty; they would fight in future as full-time citizen-mercenaries in the Legions.
