Poor Cossacks (veterans) are veteran militia archers of the Cossack Hetmanate.

Tactics[]

Light militiamen not much stronger in melee than their predecessors but armed with Matchlock Muskets as well as wearing no designated armor, veteran Poor Cossacks are good reliable infantry capable of bulking up garrisons while adding some suppressing fire during sieges or against cavalry charges - their only strong tactic, however, is to charge into battle in large numbers to become less vulnerable since, in small numbers, veteran Poor Cossacks can be outgunned, cut down, or run over by cavalry.
