The Bajrak (veteran) is a light horseman of the Crimean Khanate.

Like most Crimean Khanate units, they may use a bow, but often employ sabers or lances.

Tactics

The primary advantage of the Bajrak is it can be obtained by recruiting Nomads from Khanate villages and upgrading them. This allows Crimean Commanders to quickly accumulate sizable mounted forces relatively cheaply. Consequently, Bajraks can be be used to simply overrun enemy positions where their horses allow them to keep enemy infantry suppressed.

Compared to their infantry counterparts, the Kapikulu, they feature approximately the same skill and Power Draw for the same price rendering the Bajrak a better deal for their mounts.

In fortification defense, Bajrak make mediocre archers and poor melee combatants. However in a large firing line they can quickly decimate advancing troops. At longer ranges, their poor archery skill does inhibit accuracy. Kapikulus are slightly better in this role as they have slightly heavier armor.
