The high guard

The Highguard is the Traditional guard of the Watch Towers of the Empire. Firing from two lines of crossbowmen, and with a reload time of under 12 seconds (due to top-secret machinery), the Highguard is capable of laying down a withering- cover of rapid-succession fire, daunting all but the most determined assault. Each watch tower is traditionally manned by a score of well trained Highguards.
