|
Training
The training regime for the Borderers has changed with the course of the war and the Regiment has become an elite unit used for scouting, path-finding and small unit tactics in the Brastorian forces.
The selection criteria for the Borderers has been substantially changed to the extent that troopers in the Borderers would be Sergeants or better in other units due to their skills, abilities and reputation.
The Borderers (From Winter 807) only take proven warriors and troops from within the Carzalan and allied Western Kingdom forces who have both proven themselves and come highly recommended. Those who actively seek to be recruited into the Borderers will be subject to a selection process which sees 80% of applicant fail and/or be returned to the units from whence they came.
Organization
The Regiment is split into 4 squadrons of 64 men which are further divided into 4 Troops of 16 men, and finally into 4 Lances of 4 men each.

Glossary
- Light Infantry
Foot soldiers who are un-armoured, or in soft leather, and who armed with light weapons and thrown missile weapons, such as spears or javelins, or are armed with long range missile weapons, such as bows or crossbow. Light infantry tends to fight as skirmishers, in loose formation.
- Medium Infantry
Foot soldiers who wear rigid leather, or ring mail, usually use a shield, and are armed with long, or heavy weapons, such as spears, pikes, polearms, or axes. Sometimes medium infantry is armed with light melee weapons, and long ranged missile weapons, such as bows and crossbows
- Heavy Infantry
Foot soldiers who wear full chainmail, or heavier metallic armour, quite often use a shield, and almost always use heavy, long melee weapons, such as pikes and polearms. When armed with missile weapons, the crossbow is almost exclusively used.
- Light Cavalry
Mounted soldiers who wear soft leather or no armour, and are armed with light weapons and either thrown missile weapons, or long ranged missile weapons, such as composite bows, or rarely, crossbows. Smaller horses, which are unable to carry a great amount of weight, but do not require grain and can be fed on grass, are used as mounts.
- Medium Cavalry
Mounted soldiers who wear rigid leather, or ring mail, and are either armed with long range missile weapons and light melee weapons, or armed with lance and shield. Because of the additional weight, larger horses are needed to carry the soldiers. Some breeds of medium war-horses can subsist solely on grass, but most require some grain.
- Heavy Cavalry
Mounted soldiers who wear full chainmail, and are almost always armed with lance and shield, although some heavy cavalry is armed with sword and crossbow. Large horses are needed, and often, smaller riding horses are used to carry the un-armoured soldier while the heavy war-horse carries the armour, when the heavy cavalry is moving to battles.
- Very Heavy Cavalry
Mounted soldiers who wear full or half plate armour, and are always armed with the lance and shield, although some highly trained very heavy cavalry may also have long range missile weapon. Very large and expensive horses are needed to carry the very heavy cavalry trooper. Like heavy cavalry, separate riding horses are used when moving the very heavy cavalry outside a battle field
