Dismounted Boyars Son Vs Dismounted Druzhina

[Old Geezer]

Such has also been my experience with the Scottish infantry. They remain effective even into the Timurid invasion period. Once the highland noble swords get to silver chevrons with weapon and armor upgrade they are extremely effective and even more importantly - frugal.

Boyar sons have free upkeep while dzurinja has not. So if you wish to strenghten yur defences then boyar sons all the way. For an offensive army it is the same, but with the amazing variety of shooters and cavs available for the russians you dont need axemen in an open battle. I take two of them though for each army for sieges.
