Hello !
I suppose you all know a little bit about the wargame Warhammer Battle, of which I'm a player. I've decided to create a Greek Army for this game, but the matter is, I don't know what name I could use for the elite cavalry. I know this type of warriors were not very spread, and I intend to limit them to 1 unit for each army, but however they existed, and I really don't know how to call them. Hippeis seems not very appropriate given that it was usually a class members' name, and that they were mostly hoplites. But for the real elite cavalry ? (not macedonian, greek) I already use "Horsemen" for the non-citizen calavry.
I need your help, dear guys :? ...
Parmenion - ah, and what about their armour ? Quite light, I assume, isn't it ?
