Also, if it wasn't clear from my original post, I'd be happy with a base TS of 2 for TL1 or TL2 Rangers, as long as they get both Rec and Fire. But what would a good raise/maintain cost be? 48k$ and 10k$? Or should they cost more? |

But Rangers can hunt for themselves and sleep outdoors and live off the land and stuff. What maintenance cost? :)

Or invent a Self-Sufficient Feature which lowers maintenance cost as long as the unit is in a Terrain that it has expertise with. Mass Combat needs a lot more fun and funky Features anyway. |

"A little apart the Rangers sat, silent, in an ordered company, armed with spear and bow and sword. They were clad in cloaks of dark grey, and their hoods were cast now over helm and head. Their horses were strong and of proud bearing, but rough-haired..." They're helmed, at least some are in mail (see later description), and they're equipped with spear, bow, and shield. Moreover, these aren't any horses they happened to pick up at random: "indeed the love that the horses of the Rangers bore for their riders was so great that they were willing to face even the terror of the Door..." Given that the horses are being compared to those of Rohan in the above passage, this suggests they were likely trained cavalry horses. So as far as rangers go, think "the Lone Ranger" with faithful steeds... The books aren't clear as to whether they deployed from the corsair ships as cavalry or infantry; given there's little mention of archery, they probably dismount as either high-quality bowmen or as spearmen, however; I doubt they carried both weapons when not fighting from horseback.
