Boydinov's Brawlers (Streltsi)

is a Regiment of Renown missile infantry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer III with Shadows of Change.
== Recruitment ==
* Recruited with: Regiments of Renown Recruitment panel
== Description ==
The Streltsi were originally armed with bardiches and handguns, in order that they could rest their firearm upon the crook of their polearm and thereby achieve greater accuracy. However, in an effort to get 'one more' shot off before the enemy closed upon them, the warriors would often run out of time to effectively stow their gun and ready their bardiche. Instead, the heavy gun was often simply reversed and used as a bludgeon. Eventually, Streltsi captains took the radical step of embracing this alternative approach, and had their rotas’ rifles modified to include axeblades on the gun stock.

== Strategy ==
A slightly more melee-oriented version of Streltsi with more melee attack/defense and lower range with extra reload time. Use this unit either as the frontline or close-to-frontline then send them to assist the front line once the bullet runs out, and even if they are flanked, they can hold the grounds on their own, just don't expect them to hold their grounds against some anti-infantry single entity.
