Alans Melee Infantry

Sarmatian Band

Unlike their Scythian cousins, the Sarmatians favoured a much more belligerent style of warfare, not unlike that of the Parthians - heavy, shock cavalry strikes backed up by infantry and archers. The best and the boldest fighters formed the cavalry hordes, yet foot soldiers were nevertheless expected to do their duty. Even the lowest tribesman was trained, by his very lifestyle - the transient, constant movement of steppe life meant that strength, endurance and discipline were automatically instilled from a very early age - the skills needed to deconstruct a camp, gather the animals and move; in essence, to pack up their lives swiftly. This made Sarmatian men and women strong, determined, tougher than most of their enemies and above all ready to fight at a moment's notice. In short, a terrifying enemy.
