Stratioti Levies
The rugged landscape of the Balkans has birthed a unique class of warrior: the Stratioti. These light cavalrymen, often wearing a mix of Byzantine armor and local attire, are masters of the 'hit and run' tactics necessary to harass larger, slower Western or Ottoman armies. Their reputation for ferocity and scouting excellence makes them indispensable, turning the tide of mountain battles where heavy knights flounder. They are the vanguard of a Greek military resurgence.
