Talk:Throwing Axeman (Age of Empires II)/@comment-66.182.237.200-20151017032336

I like to mass throwing axemen with bearded axe, put mass heavy scorpions behind them, and sit them on the edge of the town I'm attacking with my Frankish Knights, and when my opponent's spears and other anti-cavalry units come chasing my knights, I lure them to get absolutely hacked down by my Frankish firing squad. Something this article forgot to include is that they have similar properties to a Champion, where they excel vs. trash units, only, they're less vulnerable to getting overrun by halberd mass.

Throwing axemen work in absolute harmony with the knight rush, because you can use them to just whip your opponent's halberd counters.
