Charging skirmishers, hitting troops in flank or rear where you can claim the lost to lancers - on cohesion test.

... capturing unattended enemy artillery, sacking the camp.
Until LH get firearms, these are the king of LH.

But I could also sack baggage and capture undefended artillery with LH armed with vaguely offensive body odour and a past their sell by date packet of supermarket own brand half coated chocolate biscuits.
Whenever I've used them they can't seem to find any enemy LH to bully around.
No bad thing really

My eventual hope is to use reg horse to contact the enemy out front then send the LH lancers into a flank charge. Scots VS Parliament, I can only hope they have some use as I went to the bother of painting some up

Actually I think they have both pistol and light lance, still Cromwells (Blathergut) boys have their stupid carbine so they can still outshoot me by 1 MU

Against the Later 30YW German Imperial with Croats it at least gives you a chance...

Some how I dont think any of them made it into the Scots Covenanter army, so I will have to settle for light lance and pistols with the Moss Troopers
