Skirmishers are disposable frontline troops; poorly trained, with poor quality weapons and the cheapest armor available, often mounted on the worst horses possible. Their primary purpose is to tire the opposing force before sending in more skilled troops to mop up. The rare skirmishers that survive their first few battles often find climbing ranks to be easy. |
