Alans Missile Cavalry

Alani Chosen Raiders

Nomadic melee or shock cavalry struck the weak points in formations, delivering devastating attacks against lightly-armed and armoured missile troops, then retreated before the enemy could effectively counter-attack. Although mounted troops were 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 made excellent raiding and skirmishing forces. Acting as a screen for their main hosts, 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.
