Infantry Units
Arverni Batoroi (Gallic Clubmen) The local chieftain selects the strongest and fastest young men from the poorest freemen and arms them with clubs and shields, but no other armament. Although they have little or no training, their simple armament is effective so long as they can flank or ambush an enemy force. |

Cavalry Units
Arverni Gaiseredoi (Gallic Light Cavalry) The farmlands of Gallia and Aquitania are rich in horses and cattle. As a result, even poor warriors can afford to equip themselves with fast horses, javelins, a spear or sword, minimal armor, and a cavalry shield. They are very efficient as a screening and scouting unit, but they will suffer in prolonged melee with unbroken infantry or heavier cavalry. |
