Pontic light cavalry are javelin-armed mounted skirmishers who can strike quickly and be gone before the enemy reacts.
Overview
Pontic light cavalry are javelin-armed mounted skirmishers who can strike quickly and be gone in the time it takes a more ponderous enemy to react. They do not wear armour, but do carry shields and swords so that they can fight in hand-to-hand combat should the need arise. They are, however, best used to dash in and harass a mass of enemies such as heavy infantry who cannot hope to catch them. They are not ideally suited to fighting other skirmishers - many of their javelins will be wasted against targets who can dodge, after all - but they can be very useful in harrying fleeing enemies and driving them from the field.
Details
Pontic Light Cavalry are pretty decent javelin cavalry. They are slightly superior to Militia Cavalry and do quite well in melee. they work well for supporting heavier Pontic cavalry as they can fight in melee well enough after their missile are thrown. Their morale is stable.
