- For the Custom Battle version, see Netyag (Custom Battle).
Netyag are regular infantry of the Cossack Hetmanate.
Tactics[]
Light infantrymen armed with a saber and possibly a pistol, the average Netyag is a formidable and agile fighter able to quickly close the distance and pepper the enemy with short-ranged pistol fire, which makes them adequate against marksmen and other light infantry, such as Kapikulu and Azap - even pikemen will find Netyag infantry to be formidable. However, since they wear light armor, Netyag are not as capable against heavy infantry, such as Swordsmen, and very weak against (especially heavy) cavalry, such as Winged Hussars.
