Mortarmen

Mortarmen are a type of unit in warbanner this units are useful providing support to the line infantry, and what they are best at is at blowing large masses of men up, everything that has a mortarmen as his unit type will carry a hand mortar and of course do splash damage with it, their units are of arround 8 men, and they have always a very high ranged damage, they are horrible at melee, but no reazon we should see a mortarmen in melee unless he runs out of ammo if you protected it well, they are best used against big blobs concentrations of line infantry, and the kill count of this units almost always will be multiple times the size of the regiment itself, that is of about 8 men

Strategy
as all troops that are especialized in dealing damage from range, the mortarmen need to be protected by line infantry, as they have an extremely low health, but if they are well used, the effects on the enemy troops will be huge, the explosive damage allows them to wipe out a whole line of infantry with a well placed volley, and if they are massed, possibly even more, there is not much to be said about this type of unit, because its basically to place them behind the line infantry and wait for them to blow the enemy up most of the times, but if the enemy haves sappers, it is a good idea to add light infantry or heavy riflemen to help the mortarmen with that, if you want something that will have the same speed as your mortarmen, otherwise a better choice will be dragoons, but remember that your grenadiers wont work too well against enemy sappers
