An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/xoykDFxJFBgF02W_HRnEzw==, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Forming the core of the Armenian army in the Castle Age along with the redoubtable Azat Yeomen are the Haspet Skirmishers (Haspet meaning "knightly" in Armenian). Unlike the quick-running but thin-skinned warriors of the Iberian peninsula, Haspet Skirmishers are endowed with added armour, more hitpoints and a heavier attack, making them even more deadly against slower-moving melee units, whereso required. Just remember not to pit them against archers, particularly crossbows — Haspet Skirmishers while heavily armoured are little more than living pincushions if pitted against them. Equally, they can be massacred if melee medium cavalry can close in on them.

  • Forming the core of the Armenian army in the Castle Age along with the redoubtable Azat Yeomen are the Haspet Skirmishers (Haspet meaning "knightly" in Armenian). Unlike the quick-running but thin-skinned warriors of the Iberian peninsula, Haspet Skirmishers are endowed with added armour, more hitpoints and a heavier attack, making them even more deadly against slower-moving melee units, whereso required. Just remember not to pit them against archers, particularly crossbows — Haspet Skirmishers while heavily armoured are little more than living pincushions if pitted against them. Equally, they can be massacred if melee medium cavalry can close in on them. Consisting of mountain and plain, the region of Armenia was one which was suited to the raising of horses. Armenian cavalry was well-known ever since the days of the Orontids under Persian rule, and their cavalry traditions continued to be practised well into the Middle Ages. At the eve of the foundation of Cilician Armenia, lances and javelins were the favoured weapons of Armenian cavalrymen, which allowed them to function very much like how the Roman legionnaire would have done — javelins would be thrown to soften the enemy prior to a charge with lances.
