Qin Mounted Patrol
秦军巡骑
The mounted patrol is about reaching useful ground quickly. The separation between travel and attack keeps its speed from becoming an unrestricted charge.

Printed ability
May move up to two spaces through empty Plain spaces. An attack still moves only one space.
What it means in play
It may move up to two spaces through empty Plain spaces. An attack still moves only one space, so the movement ability does not create a two-space attack.
The historical lens
The National Museum of China discusses early riders balancing without the later paired stirrup. The illustration is a modern reconstruction; the unit’s two-space movement is a board-game abstraction.
Reading the illustration
Lightly equipped riders on open ground anchor the source direction.
Rank measures game combat strength, not historical seniority. Unit names and special abilities are modern design interpretations. Read the rules.
