 == Dwarves == == Dwarves ==
-Dwarves are a strong and vigorous race of generally short, stocky and strong beings. They are about four to five feet tall and have sturdy, thick arms and legs. They are vulnerable to greed, yet rock-hard, stubborn but also practical, slow to love and yet fast in friendship. Their specialties lie in the manipulation of materials and related things such as smithying and mining. They are relatively long lived: 400 years is considered a reasonable old age. Dwarves have a remarkable resistance to hunger, pain and disease and can endure long journeys without words and withstand fire and cold without flinching. Dwarves form close-knit clan-based working communities and value especially those of their own family. Since Dwarves are a bit stronger than humans, a Dwarf infantery unit consists of 70 Dwarf Warriors.+Dwarves are a strong and vigorous race of generally short, stocky and strong beings. They are about four to five feet tall and have sturdy, thick arms and legs. They are vulnerable to greed, yet rock-hard, stubborn but also practical, slow to love and yet fast in friendship. Dwarves are basically cynical creatures who are not easily taken in by elvish fine words and beauty. All of them are workaholics. Their specialties lie in the manipulation of materials and related things such as smithying and mining. They are relatively long lived: 400 years is considered a reasonable old age.

-The Gnomes have Mattress Jaeger units. These are 1 step elite Light Infantery units (Combat 4 , Retreat 0 (voluntarily)), deployed from mattresses. Both are launched using giant ballistae. First the mattresses are fired and the next turn the Jaeger are launched to the same location. Deploying the Jaeger is a magic spell. Gnomish Space Marines are found on board of the Gnomish sidewheeler flying ships. Launching a sidewheeler is also a magic spell.+The Gnomes has the Mattress Jaeger unit. An Infantry unit, deployed from mattresses. Both are launched using giant ballistae.

-The last kind of special Gnomish units are the Giant Hamster cavalry units. Each cavalry unit consists of 15 Giant Hamsters (mounted by one gnome and two (armed) gnomes using a special Giant Hamster Harness). These do not use the normal combat rules but a die is rolled on the Giant Hamster table for each attacking unit in the appropriate combat phase. This is resolved after normal combat, either as a pursuit of retreating enemies, or as a screen for retreating allies. If attacked Hamster cavalry will retreat instead of defending itself. If cornered roll on the Hamster attack table with a +3 bonus and assume a breakthrough by the cavalry. +The last kind of special Gnomish units is the Giant Hamster cavalry unit. The unit consists of 15 Giant Hamsters (mounted by one gnome and two (armed) gnomes using a special Giant Hamster Harness).
