-One unit of 'standard' light cavalry troops represents two defence point. A unit consists of roughly 15 soldiers and 5/6 horses - there are 5 troopers active at any time, while the others will be on rest or sleep periods. These standard infantry are L3 warriors who are equipped with light armour and a range of weapons. You can train and equip your light infantry however you like - so long as they remain CR4 troops. +One unit of 'standard' light cavalry troops represents two defence point.

 Light Cavalry are the 'quick reaction' troops of a conventional army.  They are a cost effective way to get military support to an area quickly.  Once they are there they use 'Hit & Run' to harass the enemy until the main  forces arrive.  Think hit-and-run, rather than steamroller. Light Cavalry are the 'quick reaction' troops of a conventional army.  They are a cost effective way to get military support to an area quickly.  Once they are there they use 'Hit & Run' to harass the enemy until the main  forces arrive.  Think hit-and-run, rather than steamroller.

 Heavy Cavalry are probably the most effective troops of a conventional army.  They are expensive, but you can get powerful military support to an area quickly.  Once they are there they use try to steam roller the enemy.  Think Knight rather than Hussar. Heavy Cavalry are probably the most effective troops of a conventional army.  They are expensive, but you can get powerful military support to an area quickly.  Once they are there they use try to steam roller the enemy.  Think Knight rather than Hussar.
