,,Tadzreuli, on the Georgian verbatim indicates - "knight-templar". These are soldier, the servant of the holy apostolic church of Georgia. Georgian church as one of the rich classes in XII-XV c. centuries in the Georgian reign, subordinated the big enough number of small nobles – aznaurs, free mens and peasants. The servants of the church of aznaury protected church and faith, correctly served the tsar and the native land. Gradually, in the highly developed feudal society of Georgia, in XII-XIII c. explosives, tadzreuli became military class. To tadzreuli elite infantrymen by the Georgian of army, the knights of the honors, always ready life to return for the faith, the native land and for the tsar. They the well trained and well equipped, very experienced soldiers, strong by spirit, without are sorrowful to the enemies of Georgia and Christianity, but they are virtuous to the simple people, them all love and respect on this, and enemies feel trembling before their persistent view.”

Hey Kolkhiki just curious. Whats the difference between a garrison spearmen and the normal spearmen. Georgia did not have a professional field army, therefore such division, at least to me, is trivial.

Otherwise really cool. The confusing thing really is the division of heavy cavalry. Assuming these units belong to the days of Georgia's Golden Age, then I'm really confused about the two types of heavy infantry, and the nobles.

"Khevsureti one of the most beautiful high-mountainous corners of east Georgia. There during centuries it was created unique culture and originality Khevsurs, Pshavs, Tush’s and other mountain Georgian tribes. One of basic elements of this original culture is systematized military art. Khevsurs, in other as well as other mountaineers, perfect own art of fencing and protection in fight. In Middle Ages Khevurs the pedestrian and horse groups created special divisions in royal army of Georgia. Proud and aggressive Khevsurs, being free and independent from the feudal lords, were often called in bodyguard of the Georgian kings. Khevsurs are dressed beat in a chain armor, it is frequent their headdress from a chain armor closed all person Khevsur warrior. Thus before enemies there was not knowing fear, violent and at times a mysterious soldier without the person which scared to enemies."

Garisson spearmen (Metsikhovne) were more skillfull and defensive, then normal spearmen, I think :)

For additional Georgian unit's, check out BKB's SuperMod of MTW/VI for reference, think the drawings and info you have is very good. BKB's SuperMod had other units as well that are worth checking out as well.
