Those don't have a good reason to be so slow, so they'd end up looking
very similar to the scouts.

It's not the infantry that's making me uneasy. I don't think I want
another ranged unit at all (except for the Battle Ships). Ranged attack
should be special and valuable, and if we have too many units with this
ability, it might just get too 'normal'.

How about this. The FNA had driven the Kandelians out of some stronghold
earlier (maybe the yellow starting point), and were chasing the last
remains of the Imperial forces which abandoned the city shortly before
the FNA arrived. They got a little careless, however, and the Kandelians,
who had received reinforcements from the northern base, regrouped and
ambushed the advancing rebel troops which now find themselves encircled.
The FNA now sends the units which fell behind in the chase to break the
vise and get their trapped units back out.
