A man looses only what his holder holds, and only from one that fits his javelins. Out of a fight it fills again from the javelins in the train, which the weaponsmith sells at 1 silver 5 copper each. An army on the payroll at a town of its own keeps one refill for every case. Half of what is loosed lies on the field to be gathered, and a third of that is lost each day. On the map an archer’s cases empty in five minutes of fighting, and an archer with none left strikes at about a third of his strength.
