Determined Horse

Post by tyronec »

Some Swedish 30yw cavalry are classified as Determined Horse and some as Cavaliers. Is there any effective difference between these classifications ?

Don't the Cavaliers have Swordsmen melee capability?

The Swedish Horse are Determined, Pistol Impact & Melee.
The Finnish horse are Cavaliers, Impact, Pistol melee.

I understand the difference between Pistol Impact and Impact.
Does classifying them as Determined Horse or Cavaliers make any difference ?

Cavaliers are more likely to continue pursuing after the first turn of pursuit - they only have 25% chance of stopping each turn, whereas determined Horse have 50% chance of stopping each turn.

Impact mounted have advantage against pistols impact, unless the pistols are better quality determined horse.
So Cavaliers should beat Parliamentary cavalry until Oliver Cromwell trains the Eastern Association horse.
