Generic Average combatant

Most troops in Down Range have the same basic statistics. If in doubt, use the "average combatant" statistics to represent most military members.

This type of unit is also appropriate for trained paramilitaries, hardened insurgents, and other professionals who are trained and/or experienced in combat techniques. Even if a soldier's primary duty is not direct front-line combat, they are still likely to be average combatants.

Players should be wary of creating individual combatants whose statistics exceed the average combatant statistics.

Even the best-trained soldier is still subject to human limitations, and even exceptional skill and training are likely to regress to a mean in the inevitable chaos of combat.
