Persian cavalry can fight well with either bow or sword, making them valuable skirmishers and general purpose horsemen.
Overview
Persian cavalry can fight well with either bow or sword, making them valuable skirmishers and general purpose horsemen. They can trace their lineage back to the tribes of the steppes, and this tradition gives them fine skills with both the horse and the compound bow. They wear mail armour and carry swords so that they can defend themselves at need, or even carry the attack to lighter opponents, but they are primarily fine horse archers, able to ruin formations of solidly-packed enemies. A skilled commander will use these troops in cooperation with heavier cataphracts when he can, softening up an opponent with missiles before delivering an armoured punch, or beating an enemy down before driving them from the field with lighter pursuers.
Details
Persian Cavalry are horse archers than can fight in melee and are well armoured for that class. Don’t hesitate to use them as light cavalry and as horse archers, as they do well in both roles. This makes them very useful units.
