The sling is another uncommon weapon, largely because it is no more powerful than a bow and has a shorter range. It is little more than a looped strip of cloth or leather into which a stone is placed. The sling is whirled about the slinger's head and the sling stone released towards the target. The one advantage of the sling is that you can vary the rate of fire by releasing the sling shot before you have worked up full impetus. This reduces the range but enables the slinger to shoot far faster.

1. A unit of slingers may fire twice in their shooting phase if they do not move in their movement phase. Their range is reduced to half (9") if they fire twice. Note that slingers cannot fire twice when they stand and shoot against a charging enemy as there is insufficient time.
