These unique Polish horsemen are likely the finest heavy cavalry to have ever trodden the earth. Drawn from the brave Polish gentry, the swift hussars boast the finest equipment and military training of the time. The mere sight of these heavily armored warriors charging on their mighty horses would often be enough to inspire panic in the enemy ranks, and break the line of any troops still holding their ground. Nevertheless the hussars should avoid large groups of shooters, especially on a difficult terrain. The hussars' greatest moment of glory came in the battle at Vienna, where they held back the Turkish invasion of Europe. In the 17th century, the hussars were considered the best cavalry in the world.
