Kartli Unit Roster
Infantry Units
Spa (Kartvelian Levy Spearmen) These men are typical of the Caucasians who emerge from their mountains to raid the more fertile lowlands. To outsiders, the hillmen are a wild savage people, but they are also skilled hunters, making them superb ambushers. Armed with spears, swords, and round shields, they are a valuable addition to many forces. |

Thorosanni Spa (Kartvelian Foot Guard) This infantry is similar to the Persian kardaka, which are hoplite-like heavy bodyguards, and traditional Greek hoplites. Their clothes are those of the kardaka, and their greek-style linen armour is reinforced with bronze scales. They also bear a short sword and a wide aspis shield, made with wood and reinforced with bronze. |

Missile Units
Moisarni (Kartvelian Archers) These highland archers use their light composite bow with great efficiency: not with spectacular range but a quick rate of fire. |

Mesathkhedeni (Kartvelian Skirmishers) Javelinmen are recruited chiefly from the poorer areas of their state. The poorer classes of more civilised states sometimes fight as light troops, and most of these throw javelins or stones, as they lack the specialist training to use a bow or sling. Apart from javelins, these men carry a light round leather-covered shield, and axes for melee combat. |

Meshurduleni (Kartvelian Slingers) Slingers are highly skilled missile troops, but are at a huge disadvantage in hand-to-hand combat, especially against cavalry. They can maintain a sustained and concentrated barrage on enemies, and then fall back rapidly to avoid hand-to-hand combat. |

Amordzalni (Kartvelian Guerilla Warriors) Famous for their skills, speed, rate of fire, and accuracy, these guerrilla warrios are a nightmare for heavy troops on march. These lightly protected infantrymen are used to constantly harrass the enemy lines, baggage, or scouts, and can drive away enemy cavalry or eliminate light skirmishers, archers, and slingers. |

Cavalry Units
Mesathkhedeni Mkhedroba (Kartvelian Light Horse Skirmishers) These light cavalrymen are deadly with their javelins and ready to finish what is left with their axes. |

Amordzalni Mkhedroba (Kartvelian Mounted Ambushers) These experienced highland cavalrymen are able to move over tough terrain on their sturdy horses. While their charge lacks force compared to heavier cavalry, they are able to fight well in melee. |

Mkhedroba (Kartvelian Cavalry) These petty nobles, earning small properties, are well-protected, use a short kontos lance. They form the bigger part of the lancer cavalry, mounted on medium-sized horses, which can be very fast and nervous. Perfect to counter most cavalry units, they are extremely good at protecting the flanks of the army and chasing light infantry, or they can add their weight to the charge of other cavalry units. |

Thureos Reforms
Spaspetis Mkhedroba (Kartvelian Bodyguard Cavalry) This general has a bodyguard of loyal and heavily armoured cavalry to accompany him onto the field. Armed with lances, these men are superb shock cavalry, able to deliver a devastating and almost unstoppable charge; they are also equipped with sword so that they can fight effectively in continued hand-to-hand combat. |

Armazis Dacva (Late) (Armazi Heavy Infantry) Armazi Heavy Infantry are quite similar to the Nakharar of Armenia. They are covered in scale armour and helmets, with chainmail along the neck. They fight with maces and axes, and use oval shields for defence. |

Thorosani Mkhedroba (Late) (Kartvelian Cataphracts) Some higher nobles are retained in the royal guard as cataphract lancers. They are kept in reserve in battle and launched at the right time, delivering an unstoppable shock to the enemy. After the charge of their heavily armoured horses and use of their long kontos lances, they enter melee combat using axes and longswords. |
