[Salvo]

They didn't
At Kliszów fought PLC-Saxony forces, against Sweden. PLC army was on left wing. We attacked few times, and then our commander ordered us to retreat. He did this becouse he didn't like PLC king, and didn't want him to win.

"They were defeated at Klissow 1702 by charles XII's Caroleans."

in this battle was 200 hussars, and this 200 hussars defeted swedish cavalry in this battle, infantry was topped them !!! Look on Battle of Kircholm:

Sweden:
8,500 infantry, 2,500 cavalry

Poland:
1040 infantry, 2400 cavalry

Sweden was lost 8000 SOLDIERS!!!! POLAND 100-200!!!!! and ONLY 7 HUSSARS!

What you will say now?

And how about the battles of Wallhof, Mewe, Gurzno, Dirschau, Zarnow, Wojnicz, Warsaw etc etc?

This thread isnt the right place for nationalistic rabble, and what Kirkholm got to do with Klizow is beyond me.

Start a new thread or use the existing faction threads if you want to debate about Polish-Swedish battles.

Battle of Konitz, 1656

Sweden:
950 men cavalry led by Rutger von Ascheberg

Poland:

Swedish losses:
Very low, certainly below 100

Polish losses:
3,500 men dead and over 36 banners taken

May also add that Sweden lost 5,000 men, not 8,000 men, this was confirmed when the army had reorganized again.

Well, I for one do like the British Life Guards' outfit during the Napoleonic Wars:

[Venetian-Prince]

Even though i might be streching the timeline a bit, but ive always loved the Zouave Uniforms.

[Totenkopf]

I've always been a fan of the shako, (the style at least, the hat pictured is actually a mirliton) and the skull and crossbones on black uniform look is pure badass esp. combined with the esprit d'corps associated with 18th century Hussars. Stolen from wikipedia, the above is a drawing of a Hussar from the Husaren-Regiment Nr. 5 commanded by Colonel von Reusch for Frederick the Great.

Involved in both the War of Austrian Succession and the Seven Years War. They're even being released as a special unit for E:TW

[Captain Jin]

Well, I for one do like the British Life Guards' outfit during the Napoleonic Wars:

That's a great picture man.

This is the 15th Light Dragoons. Later known as the 15th Kings Hussars. They were the first ever regiment of light horse that the British raised, and when the game finally comes out and I write an AAR I'm going to write one in the first person perspective of a cavalry man in the 15th, aka Elliots Light Horse.





That's the 15th charging and breaking the French infantry Emsdorf in 1760 when they were under Prince Ferdinand's command. This was the first action the regiment saw after being raised and fought well, gaining the nickname of the "Fighting Fifteenth". They were also ordered to wear the name Emsdorf on their dragoon helmets and were the first British unit awarded a battle honor and it was the beginning of the current system.

[Carl von Döbeln]

At Kircholm it was mostly merceneries and yes...you pwned us there
