Forced to counter the quick and mobile missile companies of the east, European forces have begun to develop lighter and more mobile companies such as these Mounted Crossbows. Using smaller crossbows than the infantry, these companies use their mobility to stay out of trouble while they reload their crossbows, as their rate of fire is no better than that of the infantry crossbow.
