Total War: WARHAMMER General Discussions Topic Details. Aug 17, 2017 @ 6:43pm Why are Free Company Militia broken in autoresolve? Three units of these rack up between 200 and 300 kills each. Kinda tempted to make an entire army of them. Showing 1-1 of 1 comments ☘️Longstreet. Aug 17, 2017 @ 7:02pm. May 14, 2017 Total War: WARHAMMER. All Discussions Screenshots Artwork Broadcasts Videos Workshop News Guides Reviews. Then you'll understand why free company militia are popular against the Vampire Counts. The pistol shots do very little armour-piercing damage, but it won't matter early on when the most likely enemies are secessionists, orcs. Feb 01, 2018 I just bought Warhammer 1 and playing as empire but there is no free company militia in the recruitment window. I am able to recruit swords and spears. Does free company militia comes in a paid dlc or something is wrong with my game? The only mod i have is the Better Camera Mod.

These musket-armed troops are recruited to defend their own locality, not carry the war to an enemy’s land.
Militia or provincial troops are commonly held to be inferior to regular soldiers and, although they are trained to use the same tactics as marching regiments of the line, there is some truth in this assertion. Militia are expected to act as reassuring presence, and sometimes as a police force in suppressing local disturbances.
Historically, it was not unusual for militia to be locals recruited as part-time soldiers while retaining their day jobs and trades. In Britain, for example, service in the militia was seen as a good idea: you not only looked very patriotic for volunteering, but you could not be sent overseas! For ambitious would-be officers, there was a hidden financial benefit to joining the militia. A commander who could persuade his men to transfer to the army with him would not have to pay the cost of his regular commission.
