Etruscan mercenaries are fast, lightly equipped cavalrymen who rely on hit-and-run charges where the killing power of their spears is maximised. They don't have swords for close quarters fighting, and the lack of armour means once the melee becomes protracted they are susceptible to enemy counterattacks: slugging it out with heavy forces is not sensible for these soldiers. Rather, these men should operate on the periphery of battles where they can ride down enemy skirmishers and missile troops. They can be thrown into to heart of the fighting if necessary, or when a weakened unit's flank or rear can be attacked.
