Regent's Yeoman Archers

Composition

Manpower

Yeoman Archers are a unit of militia that can be drawn from any populus in the Kingdom.  Typically, each town, shire or county will have a company or two of yeoman on hand as watchmen, patrolling and training with the more regular units of the military.

Equipment

Yeoman Archers are issued leather cuirass and greaves, stout leather gloves, a hooded cloak, a long bow and either a short sword or a hand axe.  When mustered or on ordered march, they are given a four-day supply of rations.

Structure

Yeoman Archers are assigned to other units, or to established Watch and Guard groups for towns, cities and shires.

Training

All Cobal subjects are required by Law to be trained and capable of using a long bow.  Most villages, and all towns and cities, host regular events to encourage archery skills and keep the training level of all citizens as high as possible.  This translates to a significant amount of training for militia archer units across the Kingdom.
