Persian Hurlers

Throwing a stone is easy. Killing a man with one; that takes skill.

Skirmishers harass the enemy, never giving them pause to regroup or breathe. Successful skirmish forces were often used to pin an enemy down whilst the vanguard prepared for the decisive attack. Eastern armies primarily employed skirmish cavalry, born of and entirely suited to the terrain upon which they fought and their cavalry-heavy structure. The javelin was an oft-used weapon for skirmishers, particularly from horseback. A rider could hurl his weapon at the enemy and be far away before they had time to react. If they were foolish enough to turn and face the threat, they could be blind to an infantry bulwark bearing down upon them.
