Class: missile · Category: cavalry · Men per unit: 30

The Getai Light Cavalry relied upon ambush and hit-and-run tactics, and served as foragers and scouts. Carrying a bundle of javelins into battle, these cavalrymen relied upon a small axe when forced to engage in close fighting. These men are only protected by a simple shield, but being fast moving on sturdy horses, they were expert at attacking enemy skirmishers.
