Ooohh... Oops!! :) A "grunt" is the nameless, facesless front line soldier
of an army. They basically have no purpose but to fight on the front lines.
In certain instances, they are refered to as "Cannon Fodder". ;) These terms
are often used in Wargaming and Role Playing. If you still have questions,
email me and I'll try to explain it more in-depth. :)

But then you can't refer to them as "grunts" anymore... ;)

Ah, okay. :) I like the forestmen and wolfpack to be slightly different just
to give them a rag-tag look... None are the same because there is no real
orgainzation and uniform. :)

Yup. :)
