Alteraci Jaegers

One of the most distinctive elements of the Alteraci military, the Alteraci Jaeger regiments consisted primarily of light riflemen. In years past, the same regiments utilized bows, javelins, and other ranged weaponry to act in the role of skirmishers and guerrilla harassers. The tactics of the Jaegers have become increasingly popular among irregular forces since the ending days of the Third War, particularly elements of the Human resistance to the Forsaken and the Syndicate, as they allow for flexibility against numerically superior forces and are uniquely suited to conducting long-term low-intensity warfare. For the same reasons, once skeptical eyes in the Alliance and Horde military intelligence have begun to seriously consider, and in some cases implement, tactics derived from the Alteraci Jaegers.
==History==
===Second War===
===Third War===
One surviving regiment participated in the defence of Stromgarde, others remained at home, working alongside the army of Lordaeron in a desperate attempt to turn the tide against the Scourge Onslaught.
===Recent Years===
With the complete disintegration of the Kingdom of Alterac's lands in the aftermath of the Third War, no Jaeger regiments are currently in formal existence. However, the bulk of the men from these regiments have gone on to join various armed causes across the Eastern Kingdoms. The most prominent force of Jaegers is currently that held by the Alteraci Loyalist, Daniel Hawes, in the Reichfeld area. Smaller forces and individual jaegers are a common sight in the Syndicate.
==Typical Equipment==
===The Rifle===
The defining part of a Jaeger's equipment was the long rifle. While no single standardized model was adopted by the Jaeger regiments, a popular choice was the Gilnean-manufactured Luntzmasterk Model 19 Rifle, manufactured in quantities that made it affordable while retaining an excellent reputation for quality craftsmanship and reliability of service. Though shorter rifles were also in use, it was the thirty-inch barrel of the Model 19 that enabled the Jaegers in their prime to build their fearsome reputations as crackshots. Even as the muzzle-loaded Model 19 became increasingly outdated, it remained a frequent sight among Jaegers, and has increasingly resurfaced as old weapons, retired to civilian uses, are restored to military purposes by the scrounging Alteraci Loyalists and Syndicate forces.
