Parni General's Bodyguard
Class: heavy · Category: cavalry · Men per unit: 6
Description
This general has a bodyguard of loyal and heavily armoured cavalry to accompany him onto the field. Armed with lances, these men are superb shock cavalry, able to deliver a devastating and almost unstoppable charge. The nobles of Parthia are men aware above all of two things: the small territory of their homeland, and the very large territories of the Successors to the south. With their fearsome armoured bodyguards, men trained from birth for combat and glory, they feel the time has come to even the score a bit. Babylon should do....for starters!
