Short description

These Gaisphoroi, armed with javelis and shield, fight as skirmishers in the armies of the Illyrian chieftains and kings.

Description

The Gaisphoroi were simple pastoralists and farmers, who fought as skirmishers in the armies of Illyrian chieftains and kings. Armed with only a small round shield of hide and wicker, these men relied on speed and dexterity for defence, as they let loose their javelins at the enemy. These skirmishers are not suited to close combat, and will quickly break if forced to defend against cavalry or heavy infantry.

Gaisphoroi were generally conscripted into war by their leaders, and did the most menial work on campaign, as camp followers, porters and labourers. Reflecting their low status and poverty, these men only wore simple hide caps and woollen tunics to war, protected only by a light shield. Nonetheless, these hardy warriors are noted for their endurance in the tough mountainous terrain of Illyria, and were well practiced with their javelins.
