Sclavenians Missile Cavalry

Slavic Horse Raiders

Although mounted troops are terrifying and effective as shock cavalry, charging down enemy lines and wreaking havoc, they also performed another, equally important function on the battlefield. Lightly armoured and carrying spears or bows, a unit of fast riding, nimble horsemen were excellent raiding and skirmishing forces. Acting as a screen for the main force, mounted skirmishers could flank and outmanoeuvre the enemy, peppering them with arrow or javelin fire before falling back out of range, sowing chaos and disorder amongst their ranks. More nimble melee cavalry struck the weak points in formations, delivering devastating attacks against lightly-armed and armoured missile troops, then retreating before the enemy could effectively counter-attack.
