The role of the 1st Switzer Routier Regiment

The wowe of the 1st Slitzew Woutiew Wegiment
−
is to provide quality infanteers -who specialize in anti-cavalry warfare- to fulfill a contract of arms at home, abroad or on the field of battle. Each Switzer is regimented under the contract that binds them and is obligated to fulfill their duties until death or contract end. 1st Switzer Regiment of Foot does not work solely for money and personal gain as solo mercenaries are too commonly stereotyped as doing. The regiment, instead, is loyal to the length and terms of the contract that the Regiment's CO signs, regardless of how much is paid or if there are better contracts offered. Disloyalty and treason is punished severely, and is arguably a worse offense in this Regiment than any others out there. The stereotype that mercenaries are disloyal and will leave you for someone who pays higher is false, and 1st Switzer Routier Regiment lives to prove that.

The Switzers, as they are informally referred to, were conceived when a collection of seasoned soldiers joined together to form a company of mercenaries in the service of the various factions of the Empire. After denouncing the exceedingly high cost of the knightly destrier, the Irregulars adopted an entirely different style of combat from the popular cavalry skirmishing. The Irregulars decided to entirely forgo mounted warfare and to focus solely on the defeat of cavalry units. The Routiers chose the pike as their specialized weapon and the anti-cavalry formation known was the infantry square, or hollow square, emerged as their primary tactic on the field of battle.
