Bashi-bazouks

bashi_bazouks

Unruly irregulars recruited from disenfranchised segments of the population, and sometimes outright vagabonds, the bashi-bazouks provide an affordable way of garrisoning forts and outposts. With their proclivity for brigandage and wanton killing, they can always be relied upon to disturb the enemy's frontier.
