Re: Winged Hussars

Husaria wore sometimes 2 pistols, sometimes one and sometimes they have even a carbine. Their whole inventory often was of different variety. But you know, their power came from swiftness of their charge not pistol shooting. Witnessing that time period battle would be great, as long as we would be w...

Re: Winged Hussars

Winged Hussars

Hi, I was wondering why winged hussars are so lame against sweden cuirassiers? Historically, swedish cavalry was no match for polish hussars so it's quite odd for me. I'm aware of many myths around winged hussars, and they wasn't invincible all the time but it's simply strange to me that on Kokenhau...
