Kurdish Skirmishers rush forward to pepper an enemy with javelins, and then withdraw in good order before a counter-attack can be organised. They are skirmishers and not intended to hold a position in a battle line. Instead, their job is to harass and disrupt enemy units as well as screen the main force of the army. They are also adept - as their abilities would suggest - at staging tactical ambushes.

They are equipped with a clutch of javelins, a sword and a light shield. They wear no other armour, and rely on speed as the best form of protection.
