The Lithuanian Tatar is a medium cavalryman fielded by the Polish Commonwealth. As Regional Mercenaries, they can be hired in Warsaw, Polotsk and Kovno Fortress.

The descendants of Tatars who migrated to Lithuania in the 13th and 14th centuries, these Lithuanian Tatars fight for the Polish Commonwealth with their traditional bows and arrows as medium horse archers.

Tactics[]

Lithuanian Tatars are rather balanced fighters, able to pepper foes from a distance with their bows and arrows before closing in for the kill with their sabers. As they actually wear armor, in the form of simple behretes and misurkas, they are competent melee combatants, and can dispatch lightly armored marksmen and light cavalry. However, they will be easily killed by elite gunpowder troops, heavy cavalry, and pike troops.

It is wise to use Lithuanian Tatars in ways their ancestors would fight: showering the enemy with arrows from a safe distance, using their mobility to steer clear of hostile retaliation, and finally charging for the killing blow once the enemy has been sufficiently weakened by arrow fire.
