Standard User Posts: 426 njt236 22nd May 2015 04:30:59 Given this some thought as to what I would use for this period and have come up with the following. Prokoursatores. Not a clue with this one Tagmatic Kavallarioi. For the 10th C. with them having the teardrop shield I would use Norman cavalry. However these horses are not armoured. Klibanophoroi. I would use Late Roman Cataphracts. ALR09. These are fully armoured horses but the rider does not carry a shield. If you wanted them with shields I would use ASS06 Sassanid Late Armoured cavalry. Again however, these are only half armoured horses. Skoutatoi. I would use Late Armoured Roman infantry. ALR03. With ALR05 to make up the archer section of the unit AKontistai. Javelin men with a shield. I can only think of the Spanish Caetratii. ASP02 Menavlatoi. Not a clue with these. So a bit vague in places I'm afraid.
