=== Overall strategy===
Enemies of Lacedaemon had best be well advised not to underestimate these units. While these units are classified as psiloi ("naked, stripped") they are amongst some of the more dangerous light infantry units known to the Hellenes, for their apparently lack of armour belies their skills in ambush and raiding.
Use bodies of these men to guard your flanks and to set up traps, either by entrenching them on rock formations, or using them to distract an enemy and pick off weaker units such as Slaves, Caravans or enemy archers, but do not let dedicated melee units get in close — the light armour of Skiritai Psiloi are meant to deflect missiles and they will not survive if they are caught up and run down, especially by melee cavalry.
====== Notes ======
These units are similar to Caetranann except for several regards - they have less armour, but are trained more quickly and are faster on foot.
