If you absolutely insist on having such , give them some javlins and a clever speech to make them forget that this is why their kingdoms' ecconomy is in the latrine .
That's about as close as close as it could get to working .
Generally , most "Bring Me the usual susspects" in history were slingers {with useful skill in the weapon} , archers {mileage varied} and javlin tossers {which ran the gamut from "are these guys actually costing us money ?" to "Release the Kraken !"} .
Given Thrown Weapon (Javlin) costs the least to learn and must be used as ranges with only {relatively} modest penalties , it makes the best choice .
1 point is pretty cheap .
