Poor Fucking Infantry

Poor Fucking Infantry, or PFI, was an infantry division consisting of conscripts and volunteers that lacked any relevant combat, riding, or archery experience. It was formed in Vizima during the war with Nilfgaard and it was there where Jarre and Melfi joined its ranks.
Every member of the division had tied a bundle of hay to their right leg and one of straw to their left one; The reason for this bizarre practice was since all the members were mostly illiterate and ignorant farmers who didn't discern the left from the right, for the sergeant who trained the unit only had to simply say "Straw, Hay, Straw..." instead of "Left, Right, Left..." during the marches.
The PFI took part in the Battle of Brenna under the command of the voivode Bronibor. Initially held in reserve, it was assigned to stop the counter-charge of the Nilfgaardian Nauzicaa and 7th Daerlan brigades. Consisting primarily of inexperienced pike-men matched against the enemy's cavalry the PFI sustained heavy casualties in the clash, Bronibor included. It did manifest a surprising valor however and managed to hold its ground.
The Infantry equipment included : Chain shirt, tabard, pike, helmet and dagger.

== Notes ==
* In , you can overhear guards talking about the PFI. There's also recruitment posters marked with graffiti on "PFI".
* In there's a card bearing the group's name that's part of the Northern Realms Gwent deck.
*The PFI may be a reference to PBI (Poor Bloody Infantry), a term that was used to describe the British infantry in the First World War and was subsequently used to describe Allied Infantry in the Second World War.
**It may also be referencing the USA military term FNG (Fucking New Guy), which was widely used in the Vietnam war.
