Line Infantry

Creature 6 — human, humanoid, troop

Infantry are the backbone of most armies. These professional soldiers, marked by matching uniforms, straightforward tactics, and the drive to follow well-practiced orders, make up the bulk of most military forces—but are often considered the most expendable. A military serves to defend and fight on behalf of nations and can be trained and deployed in various ways.

Troop Movement — Whenever a troop moves, you move one of its segments and the other segments follow behind it. At the end of the movement, you can group the other segments adjacent to the one you moved as you see fit, provided none of them moves farther than the moving segment. If you choose not to move the troop any distance, you can instead reshape the position of all the segments as long as one stays in place.
