Hail Caesar Saxon Light Cavalry

Saxon light cavalry in the early medieval period were fast and agile units, designed for rapid movement and versatile tactics. Lightly armored, often with leather or minimal metal protection, they prioritized speed and maneuverability. Armed with spears, light javelins, and sometimes bows, these cavalrymen excelled in hit-and-run tactics, scouting, and harassment of enemy forces. They played a crucial role in gathering intelligence, raiding, and disrupting enemy formations, complementing the heavier units in the Saxon army. Their ability to strike quickly and retreat made them an effective force in the dynamic and often fragmented warfare of the early medieval era.

Light cavalry offer a highly mobile and flexible unit on the battlefield, able to react to the changing state of battle on the fly. Test the enemy flanks, or hold them back to unleash the most impactful charge at a crucial moment. The choice is yours.
