that, for many reasons, comes naturally to them. Even the frail of body can be 
deadly with a bow in hand, and in times of war, many will take up this weapon. 
Though their relative inexperience with combat leaves them somewhat vulnerable, 
their natural grace ensures that they can best any of humanity's fresh

woodsmen in Wesnoth, and can ambush their foes in the forest, because they 
cannot be seen in the woods until just after they have attacked."
+unit_description= _ "The curious name of the elvish 'Avengers' comes from a 
tactic often employed by these master rangers. The enemy is allowed to break 
through a feint defense, and when the vulnerable troops behind the front line 
follow, these archers break cover and attack, cutting the supply lines and 
surrounding the enemy in one fell stroke. 
+
+This has, at times, been interpreted as a form of vengeance for their brethren 
lost earlier in the battle. Although not so base in design, it is not at all 
inaccurate.
+
+Special Notes: the avengers' skill as woodsmen render them invisible to an 
enemy unless they are right next to it, or have revealed themselves by 
attacking."

the bow is the unusually clear vision of elves. An elf who drills himself on 
archery can hit targets that a man couldn't even see, even at night, and can
