Teulu Skirmishers continue off where the Uchelwyr left off during the Castle Age, being tougher and no less deadly than the same, functioning as a "heavy cavalry javelin" which can be used to ambush and harass enemy units. Being more hardened warriors than normal, these men can be used in small groups to surround a foe, regardless of that foe's size and cut him down. Ideally the best way to do this is to lure an enemy's army with a small force of cavalry, and then send the Teulu in at the rear to slowly cut down stragglers: all javelin cavalry are highly lethal when flanking a foe. Keep them away from rapid-firing ranged weapons and from being surrounded themselves, however as they are very weak if attacked back, although their added armour should allow them some time to escape.

| - Teulu Skirmishers continue off where the Uchelwyr left off during the Castle Age, being tougher and no less deadly than the same, functioning as a "heavy cavalry javelin" which can be used to ambush and harass enemy units. Being more hardened warriors than normal, these men can be used in small groups to surround a foe, regardless of that foe's size and cut him down. Ideally the best way to do this is to lure an enemy's army with a small force of cavalry, and then send the Teulu in at the rear to slowly cut down stragglers: all javelin cavalry are highly lethal when flanking a foe. Keep them away from rapid-firing ranged weapons and from being surrounded themselves, however as they are very weak if attacked back, although their added armour should allow them some time to escape. Welsh cavalry often formed the elite bodyguard (Teulu, "family") of a lord, and often preferred to use javelins in the Gaelic style as opposed to the fullblown glorious charge which was the hallmark of their Norman foes. The many Welsh lords of the land did adopt some of the Norman ways of war, but given the politico-economic climate of Wales and her rough, woody terrain, it was the Welsh spearman and archer that dominated tactics until the eventual conquest of the same and the annexation of that land to the English crown in the late 13th century.
